Is there a dr I could see for basic immune testing or does it have to be an RE? Any recommendations for other REs at SG who are more open to extra testing?

OP, for clotting issues you can get tested with a hematologist. If that turns out to be the issue - hemo will prescribe blood thinners, it doesn't have to be an RE. Dr. Hammersley in Silver Spring is one that's been recommended on this board.

I was with Widra before, he is indeed very resistant to extra testing and switching protocols. I would switch to a less busy Dr. The location doesn't really matter - you need to be there only for the initial consult, everything else is by phone and you can monitor anywhere.

Good idea to try a different Dr before leaving. I had a really good experience with Dr McKeeby at Annapolis SG office. He always got back to me right away and listened to any concerns I had.

That's a good idea to switch doctors and try one more FET before I make the decision to leave. I have not been happy with my doctor, so maybe switching to one who is more open minded would help.

You can try but they are pretty resistant to physician changes. I had a horrible experience with Chang. He completely missed a huge red flag that caused me years of delay and a lot of money. Just awful.
