[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are fortunate in that we can get pregnant easily -- but we are unfortunate in that we haven't been able to make one stick.  We had three miscarriages in 2012, including one in the second trimester.  We've seen a perinatal specialist and have been tested for everything under the sun -- genetics, hormone levels, autoimmune issues, uterine abnormalities -- and every single test has come back negative.  Our doctors are mystified, particularly with regard to the second-tri loss, which we know was genetically normal.

Now, our regular OB at GW wants us to go see Dr. Frankfurter because she thinks he might have "something in his bag of tricks" that could help us.  I'm on the fence about that, for three reasons:

1.  I'm not sure what he could possibly do to help, given that all our other testing has come back normal. Am I missing something? 
2.  Our insurance doesn't cover fertility, so we'd be paying out of pocket for the consult and anything else he wanted to do.
3.  We would like to try again to get pregnant this month (first opportunity after the most recent m/c in the fall) but Frankfurter can't see us until the end of January -- so it would mean waiting yet another month to try, and I'll be 40 in June -- I'm feeling like every month matters here, both physically and emotionally.

If you were in our shoes, what would you do?  Thanks in advance for your advice.[/quote]
