Hi Dr. Braverman,
I just filled out your patient questionnaire and requested a consult and am anxiously awaiting a phone consult with you.
In the meantime, I'm wondering if you've seen a lot of women under 30 with RPL have the reason for their losses be egg quality issues, or if it is actually the immune issue you tackle? My current RE mentioned talking with you to me, but that she had seen women "like me" who are in their 20s, have all normal results from RPL panel and ultrasounds and so on, and when they pursue IVF with PGS they discover it was an egg quality issue all along.
I have conceived naturally once and had a live birth, but all conceptions since have been some form of loss. My husband is in his late 30s and had a "normal" semen analysis thought the andrologist thought some things were amiss (like abnormal motility, agglutination, consistent head issues in the abnormal morphology, etc.). My AMH, FSH, AFC, and so on were normal, and I was even told my AFC was "very, very good." No PCOS or prolactin issues, as well. I did have normal prolactin despite still breastfeeding when I had my levels checked, if that's worthy of note.
I've read from some of your former patients that they were told by their REs as well that it was an "egg issue" before finally discovering it was immune related after seeing you. I guess I'm just wondering if you do legitimately find some younger women to still have egg quality issues in the end.
Sorry for the long question. Thank you!
