Post 4th LIT consultation

Yes, I remember it clear. HLA class 1 is HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C ... While HLA class 2 is HLA-DR, HLA-DQ.... Lost in translation. Where did I arrive at this explanation: HLA column1 is from husband and another column is from donor?  Grrrr.... Those secretaries and fellow patients were feeding me with the wrong info. I asked doctor again today: what is the LAT-M columns about. Wahaha... He said I better enroll in his immunology class. Who am I talking to? I said never mind... He asked again: who? wahahaha his secretary :(

I need to have another LIT next month. That will be my 5th LIT. Did I had another bout of infection? My immune system was very active or by coincidence? Majority of the patients just had 4 LIT prior to conception. Comparing the four session, my induration was getting bigger each LIT session. And I had developed pustules again. After the fifth LIT, I will be sending my blood abroad from testing again.

My uterine biophysical ultrasound result says my uterus echogenecity was course. Uterine NK cells were responsible for destroying the smoothness of my uterus muscles. Calcium deposits... The coarse texture affects the implantation success.

Endometrium layer blood flow... What was it again? I forgot... I was tired and sleepless. I went to the clinic at 4am... I remember the explanation was NK cell are causing the scar again. Restricting the blood flow and thinning the uterus.

How bad is the picture of my uterus? Why not just try to have a pregnancy work up? He showed me his worksheet of my induration sizes after each LIT. My immune system will prevent the implantation. Poor shel!

My impression is my Nk cell is causing scars and permanent damage to the uterus and endometrium.

Question: how bad is my uterine NK cell? How does my peripheral blood Nk cell correlate with my uterine NK cell? My peripheral blood NK cell is just boundary level with no killing power. Is there a way to test the toxicity of my uterine NK cell? Answer: it is impossible to test the uterine NK cells. Not unless I am an animal, he can cut and slice...

4th LIT

Tomorrow is my fourth LIT. Why I am resisting it in the past? Misdiagnosis, and blood products risks... I somewhat feel like a guinea pig.

Now, I feel my reaction code is 8-8 already, because my husband need not to donate blood tomorrow. I am quite doubtful. Last test it was just 6-4.

My uterine biophysical ultrasound

I got a profile score of 16 in the uterine biophysical ultrasound. It says the conception rate is 60%. I don't know whether I should be happy or not. After getting the report, I smiled at the sonologist and thanked him. He then asked whether I have tried ivf. Why did he asked that question? I can't help but to think that 60% is not a good score. Whatever.... I guess my score will improve by blood thinners.

I also had my LAT-M done today. Let's see.
