immunology testing

[SweetLily]

I spoke with you a few days ago, then called the fertility clinic in Canada that I have used. They said they've done a whole immunology panel. Do you do more than most reproductive specialists? Could they have missed something? They have offered my file to forward to you if I decided to go through your testing so you know my history etc.

Just wondering if your testing is similar, here my health care pays for it which would make it much more affordable for me.

If I do need to use your clinic, do you have payment options?

Thanks! I appreciated your call this week.

You can email or call the office and ask for Judy she can discuss finances with you. Its not that your doctors have missed anything, but there is no one that does an exhaustive immune panel as we do, so it does need to be done regardless.

Dr B, after 3 years my clinic admitted I tested borderline positive for anticardiolipin antibodies. They retested this week, but is this likely the cause if all my MCs?

I have lost a lit of faith in this clinic after getting these old results. I only got them so I could share with you if needed and read it myself--the Dr never told me at all!

She said to start low dose aspirin daily but I know this isn't enough cause I've done this with several of mt MCs already.

I'm going to have to save up and get your help to have another child aren't I?

I think there is evidence with the failures and the positive ACA that there is some underlying immune issue. I think you will need quite a bit more in way of a workup to determine the exact issue. I will be happy to assist you when you are ready.

Thanks Dr B.

I am going to try 2 cycles with her new protocol covered by my medicare, and if that fails I will be on your doorstep getting testing!
