[quote=Anonymous]17:49 here Well once we tried with immune treatments (steroids, IVIG) we were able to get pregnant each and every month we tried.  That was a huge clue that my NKs were causing implantation failure.  I miscarried twice doing IVIG (and consulting a "known" RI in CA).  That's when I consulted with Dr. Braverman in NYC and he put me on Neupogen.  He also tested our HLA matching and we didn't have any significant matches, but since IVIG didn't work, Neupogen was really the only thing left.  After that it was on to GS but by then I had made peace with it.

Another experimental treatment involves using plasmapheresis, but not many women on the RPL boards have done it yet so I can't say how effective it is.  I think a lot of REs turn to egg quality when they don't have answers, but I know Dr. B will tell you straight up whether or not you need to go to donor eggs.  Honestly though even with AMA and if say ~50% of your eggs are viable that should amount to at least one healthy baby, out of 8.  Dr. B's success rates are in the 70% range despite his challenging group of RPL patients.  He's definitely not cheap though.

Who knows maybe this will help the OPs SIL?  It's a lot to absorb though and if someone just told me about it I'd probably look a them like they were crazy. [/quote]
