Hi there
I don’t know what the prothrombin thing is sorry, but I have had 3 failed IVF rounds, 2 of which were chemical pregnancies, so I've had various tests done.
I'd had all the basic tests done as part of my initial investigations before starting IVF, but I decided to have them all refreshed plus extras which I’d researched. Basically the 'Level 1 immunes'. So I had the following done via my GP:
LH
FSH
AMH
Progesterone
Rubella
HepB
Hep C
Anti-nuclear antibodies
Cardiolipin antibodies
Rheumatoid factor
Smooth muscle
MITO / LKM / GPC
Thyroid peroxidase antibodies
Lupus anticoagulant screen
FBC
ESR
Urea and Electrolytes
Free Androgen Index
Hepatic
Oestrediol
Prolactin
Testosterone profile
Thyroid function panel
Proteins
T4 and TSH
I then paid privately for Serum hidden infection testing (chlamydia, herpes, bacterial load) and karyotyping for both of us. I also had private Immunoglobulin (A, G, M), DHEA & DHEAS tests done.
I considered having the Coventry biopsy but my clinic are going to empirically prescribe the drugs I'd be given if I tested positive there, so decided not to bother. You might want to look into that though. The other thing you can consider immunes wise is the Level 2 Chicago tests. I was given the advice though that such a small percentage of people actually have immune issues that the expensive Level 2 tests aren’t worth doing unless you’ve exhausted all other options.
All of the tests came back normal for me, with the exception of the bacterial load test which I then took antibiotics for.
I then went back to my GP and got a referral to get a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, which I had on Monday and which diagnosed me with stage 4 endometriosis (which I've never had any real symptoms for). So looks like I finally have my answer. If you haven’t had them, I would highly recommend getting a hysteroscopy, lap and hycosy. There is way more chance of you having a problem that they would show than a problem immunes testing would show.
Hope that helps a bit x
