What is Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy (LIT)?

Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy or LIT is a procedure whereby white blood cells from the prospective father are injected into the skin of the prospective mother to prepare the maternal immune system for pregnancy. Because pregnancy tissues are the product of both the mothers as well as the father's genes, LIT assists the mothers immune system in the development of immunologic tolerance to the genetically foreign pregnancy tissues.

First Meeting with the Reproductive Immunologist

Dr. Caroline T. Gloria

I set up an appointment for the reproductive immunologist, Dr. Caroline Gloria, at Asian Hospital. Via text, her secretary informed me of my appointment.

I arrived an hour before my appointment and luckily, the patient who was scheduled before me didn't arrive. I filled out a form and waited a few minutes.

Interpretation of Blood Tests and SIS

I had a Saline Infusion Sonohysterosalpingogram (SIS) which you could read here at St. Luke's Global. The result would be available after 1-2 hours. Since Dr. Guinto had a clinic in the afternoon, I decided to consult with her after getting the SIS result.

On my Cycle Day 9 (CD9), I was scheduled to have a Saline Infusion Sonohysterography (SIS) at St. Luke's - Global. My ultrasound was at 10:30 a.m at the Women's Healthcare, 2nd floor. I brought Inay with me for emotional, and probably physical, support. Dr. Leovigildo Comia was my OB-GYN Sonologist, as referred by Dr. Guinto.
