[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given that only one doctor suspects immune issues and others (including Cornell, which is a leader in the field of IVF) don't think immune issues are at play, why not listen to the majority of doctors? You haven't mentioned finances, but if I were you I would either do the two cycle package at SG or go to Cornell. It seems like your eggs aren't great based on your stats and your response to the stims for the IUIs so I don't see a reason to suspect immune issues at this point. At 38, it is much more likely to be your age/egg quality (sorry).[/quote]

Others, including Cornell, don't believe in immune issues, and therefore never suspect them. Many places also don't believe in blood clotting issues, despite studies pointing to the opposite. OP said that she was tested for immune issues and multiple thing came up as red flags.[/quote]

This is the PP - Cornell docs are very up on the latest research and do a lot of peer reviewed studies. If they don't believe in immune issues, don't you think there is a chance that they don't exist? Of course, even if they didn't exist, "treating" women for them would still lead to pregnancies since IVF is essentially a roll of the dice. Given that OP is older, why not start with the obvious diagnosis (age/egg quality)? It would be one thing if she failed after transferring multiple perfect looking blasts, but that is not the case here. [/quote]

That would be a very costly gamble, and OP probably doesn't have many good eggs left.  Most immune treatments (e.g. steroids, Lovenox, intralipids) are relatively inexpensive.  Why not just do both?

There's a reason this board leans pro-immune.  It's because so many here have found success that way after countless other failures.[/quote]
