[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, 17:49.  We get pg naturally every time we try and I've carried as long as 10 weeks without interventions, which makes us think it really is the egg. Plus, at my age it's under 20% of eggs that are good -- nowhere near 50%. It really could be bad eggs with us. We're doing PGD next month to try and control for that, but if we get pg with PGD/IVF and I *still* miscarry I think I will do a consult with an RI. Thanks for your insight.  I really had thought we'd be stuck going to CA and something about that never worked for me.  Appreciate the referral to Dr. Braverman.

Thanks for letting us take over your thread, OP. Apologies.[/quote]

Count me as another happy patient of Dr. Braverman that would highly encourage exploring this route. I had 4 miscarriages in a row, the most recent at 12 weeks. So the fact that you carried to 10 weeks doesn't mean immune issues aren't at play (doesn't meant they are of course either). For some women with immune issues, it doesn't affect them until even the 2nd trimester. All the local REs told me the same thing...must be egg quality which I agree with PP usually means, "I don't know". Under Dr. Braverman's protocol (I'm also doing Neupogen), I am now 14 weeks pregnant and all is going very well. I am so glad I didn't waste any more time or money following my local doc's advice.

You can write into Dr. Braverman's forum with a brief overview of your history and he will write back whether he thinks its worth testing or not.

And to OP, encourage your sis in law (when she is ready) to explore the field of reproductive immunology, either with Dr. Braverman or one of the others RIs (like Stricker with the Beers Center). Immune issues can also cause a failure to get pregnant, and if this is the cause, there are a lot of treatments available that can really work, you just have to go to the right doctor. [/quote]
