**Worms**

Hey, how are you doing? I am about to start my treatments with Dr B. I got my calendar and it has something called Metanx on it. I know everyone is different but did you have to take this drug? I've never heard of it - he didn't mention it to me so I thought it was weird. I will ask them but just curious.

Also the calendar only has one date for b/w during the cycle (plus one at beta time). Does that sound right to you? Somehow I thought it would be more...

And I have one IVIG.

Just wanting to see how your experience compares!

    i wasn't on metanx.  i don't have my calendar with me so the info below is from my memory and can be off.

    i started out on lovenox, prednisone and neupogen.  i had b/w checked for lovenox and had immune b/w done after betas.

    i did intralipids first (around 7/8 weeks) after nk levels rose and when they kept rising and then i did IVIG around 10w and again around 14w.  i had immune b/w done after each treatment.

    he knows what he is doing and we have different issues so won't be on same treatment.

    GL with everything.  i'm praying hard.

    It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

    Sorry to butt in but I took metanx and Dr.B was my RE! They won't put every time you have to go in for bw on the calendar. He will just make the decision when he checks you follies regarding the next time he wants to see you. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
