Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Lybaum, I looked into this as I found it through my research and it sounded really interesting. Especially that my losses and the path reports sounded very much like a nk cell issue. I thought of contacting them but was worried about the cost. Instead I found a fertility specialist who worked in recurrent loss and he was nearby so when I saw him he talked to me about this some. I believe Alan Beer center does a lot of "controversial" -- and I say that because most doctors would not go to these lengths--treatments like IVIG, etc. There is no proof it works really, but the ones who've done it swear by it. My dr. said he actually participated in doing IVIG therapy on a fellow dr. who had recurrent pregnancy loss. Anyways, long story short he didn't discourage or endorse it. If you've tried every other avenue it may be worth seeing what is up. I truly feel that I might have had some issues with it but as soon as I got to this specialist I got a positive pregnancy test 2 days before the appt. and I carried my daughter to term with blood thinners and progesterone. We started 300mg of prometrium per day and he said that progesterone acts as a natural immunosuppressant so I wonder if that may have helped without me having to do more extreme measures? Not sure but if I ever grow the balls to do pregnancy again I will definitely do the same meds! Good luck to you and please post about your results and what your experience is because it could be helpful to SOOOOO many women on here looking for answers. I know I wished someone had looked into the institute back when I was considering it.
