Here's the thing:
I'm 14w pregnant, first pregnancy via IVF.
Cat 1 and 3. Did LIT- got 97% LAT score pre-pregnancy.
Upon conceiving, my LAT score dropped to 27%.
Did IVIG, and 1 round Intralipid.
Went past my first trimester with twins with strong cardiac activity. No found complications.
On my 12th week, (2 days after Intralipid) I was diagnosed with chronic hypertension. My OB put me on methyldopa
and aspirin. My blood pressure has been managed well since then.
I have not updated my Immuno about my having hypertension.
When I asked my OB about her thoughts on IVIG/Intralipid, she said it's my decision if I would like to keep on doing it regularly (Immuno recommends maintaining Intralipid every 3 weeks). In her opinion, there are no studies on it that support pregnancy health, at least in a case like mine. From the start it seems like my OB does not think that consulting with an Immuno is particularly a beneficial process in my pregnancy.
Question is, should I proceed with my Immuno's recommendation by maintaining Intralipid? Or should I listen to my OB and just go on with regular check-ups with OB only?
