[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - which immunity tests did you do? Which treatments did they recommend?

Have you done a RPL panel too? Clotting factors, etc?

How is your thyroid? What is your TSH?

FWIW, after dabbling with a few IVF cycles down here and the immunity path, we finally found success at Cornell. If you want your absolute best shot with OE, just go there IMO.

OP here. I've had my thyroid tested about 5 times in the last two years.  Always normal results and TSH is 2.1.  I have asked each Dr. whether this is too high and they all said it is perfectly fine for TTC.

I have not had RPL panel done because I have not had any RPLs.  I just cannot get pregnant and Dr. Abassi believes I have repeat implantation failure.  I have not done the clotting panel yet.  I did the Beers blood test--it tested for about 10 different things.[/quote]

Personally I would (and did) run the RPL panel anyway (I also was unexplained and no m/cs - just tons of BFNs). It's just a blood test. Also have they tested for karotype (?) - I'm blanking on that test name but it's one they do pretty early on.

Any symptoms of endometriosis? That can cause implantation failure.

Has your DH's sperm been tested for % of sperm DNA frag? I'd say skip the test and just put him on antioxidants (Proceptin) 90 days prior to cycling.

I am very surprised that SG is suggesting long lupron at 38 - they aren't concerned about over-suppressing, even with your IUI response?. Why did they say no EPP? EPP is pretty standard for older women. FWIW - Cornell excels at customizing protocols - they fine tune carefully during the cycle each day. They know protocols and if they are recommending EPP I'd go that route.

Why did Dominion not recommend natural cycle IVF? That seems like a good lower-cost, lower-med option to start.
