[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the OP -- thanks so much for the input and good wishes, everyone.

13:41, yep, we had karyotype testing -- all normal.

We've read a lot about autoimmune issues.  Clearly there are those who feel very strongly that it is a real and treatable condition, and others (including one nationally renowned specialist in RPL who I had a phone consult with) who feel that the evidence just isn't there yet.  I know there are multiple threads about this on DCUM, and I'd rather not re-open that dialogue again here.  I'm not yet sure where I stand on it -- I've heard powerful arguments both ways.

What I think we may do is see Dr. Abbasi instead of Dr. Frankfurter -- that way, we can discuss the more "traditional" RE strategies (which we would've covered with Frankfurter anyway) and we can also talk about the autoimmune stuff with someone we know won't dismiss it out of hand.

Any other advice/experience/ideas welcome!  Thanks again.

OP, do yourself a favor and fast before your initial consultation with Dr. Abbasi. When I made my recent appointment they didn't ask me to, but I went ahead and did it anyway. They were then able to draw blood and get the testing moving forward that day, as opposed to having to come back another day for the blood work.
