XP: New diagnosis and NK cell question

in Trouble TTC

Welp I got the results back from the immunology testing that my RE did, and it turns out that I have elevated NK cells.  It was explained to me that everyone has NK cells, but if you have too many your body rejects an embryo that is trying to implant (or does implant).  Before getting the results I thought that maybe I would be glad if I had it because it would likely explain the bleeding/chemical pregnancy after IVF #1.  But now I just feel broken.  I am very thankful that my RE is telling me that there is a relatively easy treatment for this.

If you have been diagnosed with this, what treatments have you done?  I'm set up to do an intralipid infusion next Tuesday, but are there more infusions after that?  Did you have any side effects from the infusions or other treatments?  Also if this FET doesn't work (I'm a planner) would going back to IUI's with this treatment be a realistic option? 

TIA for your help.
