results are in

Well the blood results are in - not good at all, apparently the Natural killer cells that everyone has in their bodies that assist in the fight agains infection, for me are being over sensitive and over their quota - to the point that they are destroying any chance I have of being able to conceive a child - the levels expected are less than 0.8 [10^6/l], yet my levels are 2.21 which is way off the scale!

No wonder I couldn't conceive or hold a pregnancy, but we've been told not to give up hope, that there are ways around this, and in the first instance it has been suggested that we try IUI so that Dr Shehata can see how my body reacts, and it's less invasive so (in theory) less stress, which will also be a good thing.

We've agreed to go for IUI on my next cycle....
