Reproductive immunologist- loss mentioned

in TTC After a Loss

Calling all my RPL friends!!! Who here has seen a reproductive immunologist? From what I have gathered there are four worth seeing in the states. I’m trying to decide which to go with- Kwak Kim, Aimee, Braverman, or Alan Beer. Anyone have any comments on any of these doctors? 

Short back story- TTC 4 year’s, 6 pregnancies all miscarried. Mostly male factor with minor Endo recently discovered ( and right tube removed). For reference, we are located in Las Vegas and should have IVF coverage and will see Dr Sher for IVF. 

TTC #1 since September 2014
Diagnoses: RPL, Endometriosis, MFI (count, morph, DNI, DNAS, multiple bilateral subclinical varicoceles), low progesterone

    I'm sorry, I don't have info on what you've asked about (although I am stage IV endo) but wanted to say welcome and I'm sorry for your losses. I hope someone here is able to steer you in the right direction.

    KristoKekerooni I'm so sorry. I've only ever seen an RE, not a Reproductive Immunologist, so I won't be any help. I'm not certain if anyone on this board has seen an RI. The RPL club is a small group. I hope you find some answers, report back, and finally have success!

    Hi, I haven’t seen an RI but have read Is your baby body friendly by Dr Alan Beer as I likely have an autoimmune issue. I’ve heard good things about Dr Braverman. Sorry I don’t have any additional info and I’m so sorry for your losses!
