DQ Alpha Match

I just found out that DH and I are have a DQ Alpha Match (I am now calling him "cousin"- lol). Just looking for any insight, knowledge, or experience with this from all of you wonderful women.

Anyone dealt with this before? What was the outcome?

Are you dealing with this now? How are you treating it? How's it going for you?

Thanks ladies- and happy early fourth!

Hi Amy!

I am not dealing with this, but have a friend that is. She used Intralipids during her cycle and is now pregnant with triplets. She is continuiing to use the Intralipids now that she is pregnant (not sure for exactly how long but I think sometimes they use the Intralipids for up to the 24th week of pregnancy). They used to use IVIG, but that is expensive and contains blood products. The intralipids do not contain blood products and are much less expensive. I know there is a lot of info on this on SIRM's website.

Good luck with your next cycle!!

Courtney

Hi,

Found this website for protocols to use for IVF with different immunologic problems. This might help! :-)

IVF Protocols | Reproductive Immunology Associates

I got my first day of cycle yesterday and my DH has to rushed me to ER due to extreme pain on my lower left side of my stomach. ER doctor really not sure what is was. He said it might be endometriosis... he said my body has just gone through a lot, might be hormones etc..

Take care!
God Bless!

Thanks, Ladies! This week has been crazy for DH and I, and learning this just added a new element. I'm at SIRM and really happy with how advanced they are in their approach. Just one more thing to learn/obsess about- lol!

Amy,

You're in good hands at SIRM. That's where I went too and loved them! I'm sure you will too!
