Happy long weekend ladies! So I am trying to gather questions and write them down for our WTF next Thursday. I am looking for any info/ advice on implantation issues. This last cycle was a 5dt and as usual, the RE's say they are "beautiful" embies. Out of 7 tranferred in the last year...I never even got a c/p, except on a random in-between month after a FET, so they couldn't even blame the "leftover meds" for that one. I did have a hysteroscopy in July, they removed some scar tissue and the biopsy came out normal.
What am I missing? What about natural killer cells? I was reading that implantation issues are a tough one, so I need to be my own advocate so I don't waste my potential last two cycles. This past cycle was the only one that I used aspirin in. I was reading about using a combo of Aspirin, Heparin and Prednisone, so I need to ask him about this.
I know some of you are extremely knowledgeable about things that I have yet to even learn about, so I am interested.....Thoughts?? Edwina, you always have lots to share! I need some direction.
Thanks!!
Re: ?'s for RE...Help!
Have you had the auto-immune/clotting disorder testing done? If not, I'd ask about that.
I hope it's a productive conversation. Good luck.
