Immune compatibility between couples is extremely important for conceiving a baby. Any incompatibility issues can lead to several issues during pregnancy, most likely miscarriages and recurrent pregnancy loss.

If you are facing a similar issue, this blog will be very helpful and informative for you.

In this blog, we will discuss Paternal Lymphocyte Immunization therapy, what it is, and how it can help with your pregnancy-related issues.

What is Immune Compatibility?

Immune compatibility plays a crucial role in a couple’s journey to conceive a healthy baby.

In simple terms, it refers to how well the immune systems of both partners interact, ensuring a successful pregnancy.

To increase the chances of having a healthy baby, couples should consider getting tested for genetic compatibility, which can reveal potential risks for inherited diseases.

Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy

When a couple has undergone multiple pregnancy losses, 3 to 4 failed IVFs or some fertility issue and the doctors are unable to determine its cause; Lymphocyte Immunization therapy might be able to help solve the issue.

It’s an experimental therapy that’s still undergoing the testing phases. In this therapy, we take out 100 ml of blood from the husband and extract WBCs or lymphocytes.

We have one of the most advanced filtration equipment available for this at the Shree IVF Clinic. After 100 ml of blood filtration, we obtain 1.0 to 1.4 ml of the mixture.

Once we have separated the WBCs, we inject the mixture into the forearm of the wife using multiple small syringes.

It’s believed that this lymphocyte mixture will make the wife immune and help her continue the pregnancy.

But there are a couple of things that you need to remember about this procedure:

1.   It’s very costly
2. It’s Experimental
3.   There is not much clarity related to this technique
4. There are multiple criteria that need to be satisfied before you become eligible for this therapy

So before you decide to proceed with this therapy, it’s very important to consult a fertility specialist.

There are multiple tests that need to be performed before you receive this therapy.

So it’s an expensive and experimental process with no guarantees of success.

Wrapping up

Passing through multiple miscarriages and pregnancy losses can be frustrating and depressing. In such conditions, couples are always looking for a ray of hope. Lymphocyte Immunization therapy could be that ray of hope.

But before you proceed, remember to consult an expert for the right guidance. Do not get misguided or distracted by false claims. This therapy is a sort of last resort and may or may not deliver desired results.

We hope we have shed enough light on the therapy and its effectiveness. Still, if you have any further doubts related to Lymphocyte Immunization therapy or infertility, feel free to get in touch. We will definitely get back to you with all the answers you need.
