[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes keep advocating for more testing. You might want to pursue immunological testing. Have them check your levels of natural killer cells. Some people have an over abundance of them and others have a normal amount but happen to have overly active natural killer cells who mistake a pregnancy for a foreign invader and sadly, attack the pregnancy. There are various ways to treat this. Many women with recurrent miscarriage and elevated natural killer cells have found that being on a low dose of prednisone helps to keep their pregnancy being attacked by natural killer cells. I am so sorry for each of your losses. I hope you will find a path forward to an eventual successful pregnancy. What a challenging journey this is.  If you aren't already working with a therapist, you may want to consider working with a therapist who provides infertility counseling. Please be kind to yourself as you persevere on your uncertain journey. My thoughts are with you, and I truly hope that brighter days are ahead for you. [/quote]

This is the path that I pursued. After multiple miscarriages, I did test positive for elevated NK cells.  I was prescribed IVIG before transfer (and maybe after as well). I transferred my frozen embryos to a doctor that was open to immunotherapy and had success. I'm so sorry, sending you a virtual hug OP. [/quote]
