In feb of 2013 I had a miscarriage at about 6 weeks. This was my first pregnancy. I got pregnant again in july and had a chemical pregnancy. My OBGYN suggested i try again but instead I went to an infertility dr. After doing every test under the sun he found that I came back positive for thrombophelia ( factor III (13) V34L mutation), and my NK cells were elevated 12.8 (NK activation assay was 8%). At first they wanted me to try lovenox and aspirin but then i was sent to a reproductive immunologist who suggested lipids and skipping the lovenox and asprin. This dr didnt really take the time to explain what this therapy was and why I needed it and therefore I am very skeptical of it. After doing some research it seems like my numbers are very slightly elevated. Would I really benefit from lipid therapy? Wouldnt lovenox and aspirin be enough? Im more convinced that its the thrombophelia causing my miscarriages and not the NK cells. Any advice??
Thank you!

I would have no way of answering your question without seeing a full immune profile that quite often is very incomplete. Nk cells alone give you no information on how to approach a case .

I would be happy to assist you , fill out a contact form from the website and the staff will schedule a free 10 minute chat to reveiw your case if you would like my help.
