Have you had an immunology work up?

Question

Has your obgyn or fertility specialist tested you for natural killer cells or other autoimmune condition that could be affecting your fertility?

Answer

I just replied to another thred but have you read any of Dr Sher's blog?

My doctor doesn't seem to believe the same things he does. I called to see if I could make an appointment at their Dallas site because I want to make sure I've done all the testing I need to before I do ivf in feb/mar

Answer

Start my ivig infusions weds. Using gammagard apparently I have immune deficiency. My immunologist said it would help with my fertility

Answer

I had all 5 categories tested and I'm positive with both Cat I and Cat V. Unexplained fertility at its best before that. Period were right on the dot, HSG all clear.
I just had my last LIT session last Saturday. So here's hoping I get my BFP this cycle!

Answer

I hadn't heard about this before, but I'd like to be tested. Do you ask your RE to test you for natural killer cells? Or an autoimmune panel? Any chance your regular GP can run the tests (I already have an appt. with her in a few days)?

Answer

Antiphospholipid. I am getting screened this week. Don't take my word for it, but it appears more common with lupus, but recent reading I have done suggests RA and Sjogren's folks could have the antibody too.

Answer

Just had mine done yeaterday. Very anxious for the results.
