Recommendations for immunology doctor for recurrent loss

Hi everyone,

I could really do with your recommendations :)

I've had recurrent miscarriages (inherited from my mother unfortunately) and I'd really like to find a private reproductive immunology doctor to help me with my entire pregnancy.

In particular, one who will prescribe me an anticoagulant for my entire pregnancy - I have PAI 4G/5G, heterozygous MTHFR mutation, and slightly quick APTT.

I also have high NK cells (CD69) so my IVF clinic will treat me with prednisolone, intralipids and an anticoagulant until 12 weeks - but I think I need help past that point!

I've been looking at Dr Shehata, Dr Gorgy and Dr Tozer so far. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thank you so much.

Jenny

Hello.
First of all, I’m really sorry about your miscarriages. I went to see Dr Shehata. I had my DD (no issues), then 5 miscarriages and I finally had my DS in Dec. I think my history is a bit different to yours as I was only diagnosed with high NK cells and high tnf alpha. I am very happy with the treatment I received from Dr Shehata.
Hopefully someone will come along with a more similar history to yours and will be able to advise.
Wishing you all the luck in the world OP xx

Good luck @TheBerry
I found most of them excessively expensive for me but obvs worth every penny to have a child.
I had my diagnosis from locus medicus in greece - ureaplasma, high NK cells. Treatment was antibiotics, progesterone pessaries (both NHS) and intralipids (Oaks Clinic).
I have a friend who had her treatment in greece as she already had built trust with them. If you can get time off, there seems to be a hotbed for RI expertise
