Wanting a daughter

Hi Dr Braverman,
I have had multiple donor egg transfer failures and now 3 donor egg miscarriages. The last 2 I was on IvIG as my blood work showed elevated TNFa ratio and sometimes elevated NK cells. The last cycle I had 6 IvIG treatments, 2 prior to transfer and 4 post transfer. I made it to 12 weeks that time. I was also on clexane, metformin and bioactive folate & B6 for MTHFR. The autopsy and inspection of the placenta at this last miscarriage showed no abnormalities, blood clots or any other signs of problems that would explain the miscarriage.
My two questions for you are do you think doing a natural fet rather than a medicated one would make any difference?
And what are your thought on Humira? My obstetrician here is suggesting I could try it. He has a few patients on it who are now far into their pregnancies and a couple who have had their babies.
Thanking you in advance for your input.
PS- I have had 2 uneventful pregnancies prior to all this that carried to full term. They are now my 5 and almost 7 yr old sons.
