Question for Dr Potter re immunology

[Bambina]

Hi Dr Potter,

After my 3rd IVF cycle, I've just had a chemical pregnancy with an aCGH tested hatched blastocyst. I already have an autoimmune condition (IC) - do you think my immune system is attacking my embryos? Thanks in advance!

Hi Jaybz, I is possible that your immune system is keeping you from getting and staying pregnant. You should consider having testing done to determine this. Consideration should also be given you using Lovinox and aspirin.
