Dr. Mary Stephenson for RPL, anyone? [XP from TTCAL]

XP on TTCAL and PGAL

Hi there. I usually hang out on 2IF and TTCAL but thought I'd post here as well, as I'm looking for any AL bumpies who have seen Dr. Mary Stephenson in Chicago. She's one of the leading recurrent pregnancy loss doctors in the US and has an RPL clinic in Chicago. I've read a lot of her articles & research and finally just decided to bite the bullet and make an appointment to see her. The appointment is set for Feb 23 and apparently I'll be sent an 8-page questionnaire in the mail about my medical history. I'm already starting to compile my records.

Chicago is a 3 hour drive from where I live and my brother and his partner live there, so the travel is not a huge deal. More importantly, I've gotten DH on board to go to the appointment with me. The cost of seeing her will be out of pocket, but then again, so are my RE visits, and I feel like I've reached the end of my RE's considerable well of knowledge at this point. I realize that when all is said and done, the answer for our 4 losses might still be "no answer," but I feel like I owe it to myself to at least see what she has to say and whether there's any additional testing or treatment she recommends. 

About me: I have one 3-year-old DS who was conceived and carried with no issues. Since starting TTC #2 in fall 2013, I've experienced 4 losses, all less than 9 weeks.

Any shared experience from other AL bumpies with Dr. S, good or bad, would be much appreciated. TIA!
