Wormsie or anyone else ~ intralipid IV?

I've never heard of this.  Would you mind sharing what it is?  As I'm going to be doing a FET myself this year, I'd love to hear anything that'll help our round be a total success, and I must admit, I have NO CLUE what an intralipid IV would do.

Thanks!

    I am at SIRM and they are proponents of dealing with immunilogical issues to get people pregnant.  m&m2006 (she gave me info below) had success with them (IVF#7) and intralipids therapy.  In my case it is a pre-emptive strike :)  It's an IV drip typically done 4 times until 20 weeks.  Basically it can't hurt and can only help.

    I haven't had b/w done to test for it but getting the IV can't hurt so Dr. is doing to tup my chances :)  You can also page m&m on paif, she had the testing done and found elevated NK cells.

    Here's some info

    Intralipid

    Evidence from both animal and human studies suggest that intralipid administered intravenously may enhance implantation and maintenance of pregnancy. Intralipid is a 20% intravenous fat emulsion used routinely as a source of fat and calories for patients requiring parental nutrition. It is composed of 10% soybean oil, 1.2% egg yolk phospholipids, 2.25% gylcerine and water. Intralipid stimulated the immune system to remove ?danger signals? that can lead to pregnancy loss. The appeal of Intralipid lies in the fact that it is relatively inexpensive and is not a blood product. Its likely benefit to IVF patients with immunologic dysfunction is under evaluation.

    I've got some info in my blog on it (just did it before my FET.)  just search intralipid there, and there are also some links to SIRM articles.  It's one of the cheaper fertility treatments I've done!

    Wow.  That is REALLY interesting.  I'll have to ask my doctor if he's heard about this.  Thanks for the info!
