HI Ladies,
I have kind of a long story, but I will try to keep it short. It's great to read all these positive stories about Dr S. as I have been thinking about going to see him - I have pretty much made up my mind! He was the only RI I could find via internet searching or the phone book.
Any thoughts on this:
7 failed
pg's, all before six weeks. MTHFR +, and +ATA (anti-thyroglobulin antibodies). My ATA is twice the normal level. I was on a RM program with SIVF. I finally spoke to doctor there yesterday to discuss the results (the program manager). She said that the ATA is not high enough to cause any problems, that she has seen levels ten times that (sure, I understand that, but ?). She also said the MTHFR was not a problem, which I don't believe either. She seems to fall into the camp of docs who only treat MTHFR if you have elevated homocysteine (mine was 12/13 so the very high end)I also noticed that there was no APA panel on this test list...although I always thought there was, as ACA was included. No NK testing although it is possible to get an endo biopsy (but mostly because they are looking for LPD, not NK).
End result was that I was offered clexane to continue to try naturally, or the option to do IVF with PGD. I have read all DR Beer's info as well as many others. I do not want to do IVF if there is an underlying issue that means it will fail. Otherwise I would be happy to at this point.
Any thoughts? Next stop Dr S?
