[quote=Anonymous]I'm pregnant with my second baby after being diagnosed with immune issues.  First I saw Dr. Abbasi and then went to Dr. Braverman.  I miscarried twice more with Dr. Abbasi and AEB (and IVIG) , which is when I was successful with Dr. Braverman.  We could get pregnant on our own but never past 8w.  Like one other PP I had unusual symptoms where I suspected repeat implantation failure.  One month it was a rash on my face, another month I'd spike a fever, or get a sore throat all around 7-10dpo.  Then my normally 13 day luteal phase would turn into 16-17 days all with negative pregnancy tests.

It turns out that I have other genetic characteristics that make me very susceptible to implantation failure.  So even though we didn't have trouble getting pregnant, my body had a really hard time recognizing pregnancy and allowing full trophoblast invasion into the uterine lining.

Otherwise I rarely get sick and do not have any outward symptoms of autoimmune issues (no allergies etc).  It's only during pregnancy that my immune system goes into overdrive and really needs to be suppressed.

I second what one PP said if your gut is telling you one thing don't ignore it.  Our family will be complete with the birth of this baby, but it's still really hard to think about 8 losses we had prior.[/quote]
