[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm newly diagnosed with stage 2 endo and am currently at Dominion. I'm uninspired by their 0/10 SART record with endometriosis patients last year and am thinking of switching to someone more... up to date.

How long does all the testing/retesting take with Abbasi? Would I have enough time to complete it all if I wanted to do a cycle around Feb or March?  Does she automatically order the immune testing as part of like a "endo patient" protocol or would I have to push for it? [/quote]

If you start the process now, testing should definitely be complete by February or March.

I can't say for certain, but I'd imagine she would allow you to have the tests just based on your endometriosis diagnosis if you told her you want to be proactive and avoid spending a lot of $$ without ruling the immune stuff out first.  I think this makes a lot of sense.  IVF is very expensive and you are in a high-risk group.

As to your question about being worth it to switch clinics if you're moving in May, only you can decide that.  But do keep in mind that doctors who support immune treatment tend to be few and far between.  It would be a mistake to assume that immune testing and treatment will be easily accessible in your new location, unless you have specific info to the contrary.[/quote]
