*Some Vent first* Why can't things be simple? Why universe putting one thing after another just to make this journey so difficult. Sometimes, I really don't see the light at the end of all these. *Vent finishes now let's get on with life*
BW, you are right, I am so very desperate atm. I don't have much knowledge of how immune system work, but my gut feeling is that mine could be overly protective, to the point that it can be harmful to the embyros. I am kind of person who hardly get sick or get flu (touch wood). I was very keen to treat it like you said regardless of what the research says, but I have to admit, one of the concerns of taking the drugs is 'I don't want my immune system shot to pieces. When you say your immune system is seriously whacked out, was it before Pred or as the result of taking that?
I also have a personal hurdle to get through regarding anything surgical. I guess that's one of the hidden reason I am trying everything I can to put Fibriod issue on the backburner. If you ask me now, I'd try everything to avoid invasive surgery into my body. This is where both
DH and Dr. Lok can't understand, he said surgery can't kill you but drugs can (I know its a bit exaggerating but thats his point).
Last night I honestly think that I would like to send Dr.S an email to ask him if you can put me on the treatment plan while I am still cycling with SIVF. I don't know if he will agree but I will try. So my gut feeling is telling me to treat the NK cells, but I don't know whether its because of the fear of the surgery or its the right decision for my body.
I am seeing Leah next Saturday, I so missed her, mostly the talk, I've seen the other two but seems can't communicate on the same level with Leah. So I am keen to hear her opinion on this. Its great to know herbal can also treat this to some extent.
Sara, you know what, in order not to regret, I guess I just have to bite the bullet and get the surgery done. I wonder what else will pop up after that. What you suggested is exactly what I have in mind atm, maybe just do one more stim cycle given I am used to the lab and facility here, then get fibriod done, during the recovery time, I could seek treatment from Dr. Sack. I asked the same question to Dr. Lok, because biopsy has to be done in the D24-26 of the cycle, it might be hard to do it at the same time with the surgery.
BBT, I have learnt in the past that you can't just take the words straight from your FS' month, you need to digest, interpreted and then decide yourself. The dosage on FSH is a perfect example, I know if I didn't suggest, it won't be changed. So I am happy to see some progress and proves I made the right decision. I guess in this instance, I have more dealings with my FS and haven't with Dr.S. Although I've heard so many people raved about him, I have to admit I don't have enough confidence in him yet, after all, we only met twice and second time I was in shock with my result so didn't get the most of the consultation. Also he himself seems trying to cover himself and set the tune of the treatment in the first place, saying its still early days and no concrete research to prove it yet. I guess that adds a little more anxiety from my side. If the one who is treating you is not sure, how can you be fully convinced. But again, like Holly mentioned before, he could be just saying that because Im under another doctor's care.
Well, guys, I still don't know what to do yet, but I feel a little bit better, you don't know how much your posts helped me in a way.
DH said just sleep on it, the decision hasn't arrived yet but I hope it will come when timing is right.
