[quote=Anonymous]I feel your pain, OP.  How old were you when you started trying?  Having gone through 3 IUIs and 4 IVFs and a full immunology workup, I still can't tell you whether or not I believe in the immunology side or not.  DH and I had the full immunology panel run (facilitated by Dr. Abbasi at CFA--the bloodwork was sent to be tested elsewhere) and we had an odd anomaly that the people who believe in reproductive immunology would say was the cause of my failing to get pregnant.  However, then we did our last IVF at CCRM and had the embryonic genetic testing done and all of my embryos---which had looked perfectly healthy---were genetically abnormal.    So to this day I don't know---was I just too old when we started and all of my eggs were defective from Day 1---or did our immunological abnormality mean that even in the rare case that I had a healthy fertilized egg---my body was still going to reject it.  I do know that the one time I was successful in getting an embryo to implant, I had done intralipid therapy (one of the treatments in reproductive immunology) during the IVF process.  (I still miscarried, but that was the farthest I'd gotten).  Were I to do it over again, I would have gone to CCRM sooner---I got more embryos there and they have one of the most sophisticated genetic screening programs.  Hope at least some of this information helps.  Good luck to you.[/quote]
