5th IUI part1

My fifth IUI was a make or break. I had consulted an immunologist for the first time. I was prescribed with prednisone 10mg from day6 til next menstral period. I was also advised to have LIT (lymphocyte immunization therapy) 3 weeks after the IUI. What should go first IUI or LIT? I can read between the lines. I became undecisive because friends said they did LIT first. Is there any difference between third week after IUI and first week of next cycle? I felt Immunologist1 actions were biased. I did not get straight forward answer because she did not want to offend the referring doctor.

What would you prefer: IUI with NK cell highly active or IUI after NK cells are subdued? I prefer the latter. I cling on to hope that LIT is my silver bullet. LIT should be done first.

I called My Fairy Godmother to tell her I wished to cancel my IUI this cycle. But I was requested to see her at her clinic on day10. I went to her clinic as instructed. I also felt she and my immunologist had opposing opinion. I cried in her clinic as I told her my frustrations. Ooops... I made a white lie to cover up something. My Fairy Godmother was mad at my immunologist. I told My Fairy Godmother that I never confirmed the LIT, I was waiting for her go signal. My Fairy Godmother said LIT and IUI can be done simultaneously in one cycle.

I did not know who to trust. After a lengthy conversation, I agreed to proceed with IUI. She gave me a GonalF shot. Two schools of thoughts, either ways I can reach my goal. I chose to trust My Fairy Godmother. Then, I remembered OBGYNE1 last statement: no iui or ivf shall succeed if I have immunologic problem- this became the voice of my conscience. Grr... the voice my conscience is very noisy.

What should I do? There might be several other factors for my infertility. I was not absolute that my ultimate cause for infertility is immunology. Ah! Call my godsister- she is also a physician. If she did the LIT, ergo LIT must be safe. I will just follow her footsteps.

I cancelled the fifth IUI. No pressure, I can have my IUI again next cycle. The sad thing is : I just have offended My Fairy Godmother.
