[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are the tests included in the Implantation Panel at MI Lab:

Panel Tests Included
Anti-phospholipid antibodies (APA), anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-thyroid antibodies (ATA), immunoglobulin panel, embryotoxicity assay (ETA), reproductive immuno-phenotype (RIP), and NK activation assay (NKa).

I haven't called RFU lab yet.  I think I just feel so exhausted by the whole thing.  I have read on other blogs that RFU charges less for their tests however.

Did everyone who did Immune testing and treatment do so after undergoing IVF?  [/quote]

FYI, I think it's possible to have ATAs tested elsewhere.

To answer your question, I had the immune testing done before our first IVF cycle.  I strongly suspected an implantation problem just based on our month-to-month efforts to conceive the normal way.  Multiple doctors tried to convince me to have IVF first but I stuck to my guns and am so glad I did.  My NKs were through-the-roof high.  There is no way IVF would have been successful.[/quote]
