Ok so I'm 14 weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy. My first pregnancy I did once a week ivig 60mg then towards the end it was twice a week. This time around I am getting 100mg 2 times a week. This time I am getting octagam when I swear last time I got gammagard, they are trying to switch me regardless because there is a shortage of octagam just wondering if anybody has responded more to one or the other?

There was a wonderful woman here a few years ago and she only responded to IVIg - and she said it was only a certain brand [type?]. Before she left here they were giving her a different brand and I remember her saying it wasn't working.
