[quote=Anonymous]Thank you, everyone! I will definitely look into seeing an endocrinologist and having those tests done. We did have to do STD testing with our clinic, but I don't know how extensive it was. I will also ask my RE about the RPL panel. Is that just a blood test (or series of them?)  I don't eat out of plastic much at all but I do drink a ton of water from mostly BPA-free plastic (guiltily puts down Camelbak bottle.) I will switch to stainless steel.

To the 07:51 PP: we did do the ERA biopsy right before the first FET and it came back receptive, so luckily that's ONE thing ruled out. : /

22:39 PP: I had ignored all the talk about It Starts with the Egg because I foolishly thought I would be fine given all my levels/tests were good. However, I definitely would like to be getting more than 1 or 2 normal blasts from the four or five blasts that make it to day 6 if at all possible; so we have more to work with. I'll look into adding the supplements and other changes that could help. I was already on DHEA last retrieval cycle.

Our clinic is in the top 5 in TX per SART data, so I don't have many better options locally, unfortunately. I am considering switching even though I love my RE; he's widely published, very active at conferences and in clinical trials, and the office is convenient DH is super frustrated at this point and basically does not want to do any more cycles unless we can do a shared risk program, which our clinic doesn't offer in any way; he's stressed about the costs and I don't want to add more stress to his plate. Today I am going to call around both in-state and out of state to see what shared risk programs (if any) I could still get under the wire for at age 38 1/2. I don't know if my two CPs or the three failed FETs would disqualify me from most of them. We're already traveling so much for DH's cancer treatments and appointments that I'm reluctant to throw more scheduling and cost issues into the mix... but, maybe there's a program that makes sense. We are in TX, so Denver wouldn't be too bad - and I see that CCRM actually has a new clinic in Dallas now. Friends have also recommend other clinics in Houston, Dallas and San Antonio - I need to look up their SART reports.
