I'm currently onto miscarriage 12, I'm looking into going private and looking at Dr Gorgy or Dr Shehata's clinic.

Has anyone got any experience of either of these two clinics. I've exhausted all NHS testing available and I'm at a loss.

@seven201 massive congratulations, I really hope this is the one for you as well. Keep us updated if you don't mind but absolutely no pressure.

I don't know if I have just built Dr. Shehata up in my head as this miracle man, but i just don't want to go into my next pregnancy with nothing again with just being told "it will be ok next time" xx

Thank you. Getting pregnant is an achievement for me in itself, now onto the next hurdle of trying to stay pregnant! Got the first early scan next weds.

I do feel well looked after at CRP.

Good luck to everyone on here.

Update

Yesterday I got my results back .... if you're looking for an all singing all dancing OMG we have found what's wrong, look again as our dear DR S is a consultant who is very used to seeing these results so it was a bit of an anti climax - I even had to confirm that this was what the issue was ;)

So results showed, normal everything except :
High Thyroid Peroxidase Anti bodies - 103 IU/ML (normal is up to 34)
High TH1/TH2 cytokines - TNF Alpha - 42.5 ( normal up to 31) IFN Gamma - 19.2 ( normal 14.8)
Borderline high NK-Cell Cytotoxcity assay - 22% - (anything over 20%)

So my protocol is in 2 phases :
Phase one bring down the TH1/TH2 cytokines - take 2 injections of Adalimumab 2 weeks apart and then go back for bloods and a further consultation ( FYI you have to pay for the bloods again which is daylight robbery at £480) . Also started Hydroxychloroquine which I think is for the Thyroid & cytokines but I am not 1005 sure, this is advised to be started 6 weeks before trying.

Phase 2 - carry on with the Hydroxy but then add intrlipids pre conception and then every 2 weeks after confirmed pregnancy. Also Progesterone from conception and continued to 20 weeks if pregnant. Carry on throughout the other vitamins / aspirin as taking now. I believe the Intralipids are for the slightly raised NK cells as they reacted to reduce it fine and are less invasive than steroids.

So I will keep you updated as we won't be trying for another 2 months :)
