First it's APA, now it's IVIg!? WTF?
What the fuck?
So I've done some very meager IVIg research and know that this means I have to get an injection of immunoglobulins...but damn, can't I just do this myself and skip the ever-so-expensive fancy assed clinical setting with the IV pump? This is just insane. The cost for IVIg here in trendy Los Gatos is somewhere in the neighborhood of $2000. But since IVIg is administered in units based on one's weight I am surely doomed. I weigh 162 most days, more than many women as I'm tall (5'10"), so I'm sure that they'll insist on some extra IVIG just because of that. OMFG.
There is no end in sight to this hell.
Excellent reading on IVIg here. Essentially: if you're +NKa, you have a 4% chance of conceiving without IVIg, and a 50-55% change of conceiving with IVIg. I'm sold.
