Had appt with new RE

[pamela]

I don't know if I like him because he was pushy on IVF even once I said I was opposed on religious bases. He tried to convince me the archdiocese was okay with it. Whatever.

He did suggest redoing a different antiphosolipid panel and a "natural killer cells" test. I googled the NK stuff and that does intrigue me because of my history which he described as very unusual and far from textbook ( being barely 30 and 8 documented m/c). I'm willing to give him a shot though.

Blood draw Monday, results in a week or so.

I'm glad you got into a new RE - is this one closer to your home? I hope he can get you some answers and I'm always happy when they look at different answers like natural killer etc instead of just doing the tried and tested stuff.

Not closer, he's just over an hour away. They do have an office nearby, but this dr doesn't go there. I can do my bloodwork and any routine treatments in town though.

Good luck!

Good luck! What a douche though, that even when you say you don't want IVF, he does gets pushy about it. If he's good otherwise and can figure out what's causing all the M/Cs it's worth dealing with him though, right?

Good luck with the new doc! Worth a try at least.

That's my thought.  I chose him because he has an interest in auto-immune issues so I figured I'd get some options besides IVF because really, if my issues are auto-immune, my body would still kill an IVF embryo.

That's what I was wondering.  Not that I really know anything, but from what you've previously posted it sounds like your issue is staying PG, not getting PG, so I don't see how IVF would help.
