[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here.  I have repeat implantation failure and I got immune testing and was found to have immune issues big time.  I'm struggling with secondary infertility though.  I have one child who I got pregnant with easily the natural way.  When he was 6 months old we started TTC again.  Fast forward two years later, plus several failed infertility treatments later, and I never had another pregnancy (no miscarriages or chemical pregnancies).  All my testing and my DH's testing was completely normal except for mild decreased ovarian reserve, which several REs weren't even sure I had (because my AMH tests and my AFCs never matched up).

But it made no sense to me that I got pregnant on the first try/healthy pregnancy and delivery and then started TTC when my son was 6 months old and nothing at all for two years.  Then I remembered that several times during implantation time I would get weird flulike symptoms out of the blue (shaking chills, stomach cramps, nausea) for three hours and then it would all go away.

So I got all the immune testing done and it showed that my immune system is completely overactive and I have high/abnormal results for everything.

So I would suggest getting the immune testing done.[/quote]

Wow, what a difficult time for you.  Thank you for sharing your story.  So do they think you developed immune issues after the first pregnancy, or just got very lucky somehow with having your first child?  I have a long history of doctors trying to figure out if I have an autoimmune disease because of recurrent joint pain among other things, but nothing has ever been found for sure (definitely not RA, nor lupus or fibro, etc), but hearing these stories I'm wondering more and more if there's something latent that wouldn't impact my life but is majorly impacting my fertility.  Definitely going to pursue testing.  Thanks for this information.[/quote]
