Which Clinic best for Recurrent loss?

[Eeviee]

Hi,
I've had 4 miscarriages in the last 1.5 years. I've been diagnosed with anti-phospholipid syndrome (sticky blood) but have been treated with aspirin and clexane but it hasn't helped and I've lost another 2 pregnancies while in these drugs. I know at least 1 of them was chromosomally normal.

I've seen Dr Shehata and the last time
was on prednisolone and progesterone plus intralipids as well as aspirin and clexane but am wondering if the next step might be to find a clinic who will do IVF and im wondering if anyone had any recommendations? It seems a bit crazy thinking about paying for IVF as I know I don't need it as I can conceive ok, but have heard of other for whom co trolling the whole
process from beginning to end has helped.

I've heard of ARGC, Zita West, Lister. Does anyone have any experience of using a clinic for recurrent miscarriages and which one they recommend?

Thankyou

Hi @Eeviee we've spoken on another thread. I'm sorry for your losses ❤️ we're going to try ivf too even though I seem to be able to conceive OK now (it took us 16 months for the first pregnancy)

I don't know about clinics, but I follow Tor Sanford on Instagram and she has recently had ivf and is pregnant for the 5th time, her other pregnancies were natural but they tried ivf to control things better and all seems well - think she's still in the first trimester but having regular scans. I think she has high nk cells, but has a very in depth treatment plan. It might be worth messaging her to see which clinic she's at? She's definitely at one in London / South East.

Hi @VenusStarr thanks for your reply.
Yes think we're both on the NK cell immune thread.

I follow Tors Sanford and actually messaged her a few weeks back, she's at ARGC. I know they seem to have a good success rate but they sounds incredible expensive and not very sensitive. It's so difficult.

Which clinic are you doing ivf with? I'm just scared of paying through the roof for something with no guarantees as I seem to
conceive but just not carry pregnancy.

It's so hard @Eeviee. I'm glad you've been in touch with her and she replied. Her experience sounds complex so it does give me some hope, but like you say it's very expensive.

We do have ivf funding which is at Birmingham Women's Hospital but I'm not keen to go there, I've been having fertility tests there and they aren't very sensitive, particularly given our history - we've been diagnosed unexplained infertility by them - I've conceived 3 times naturally in the last year, so struggling with that diagnosis.

I'm looking into Care or Create, my amh is slightly low for my age so wondering if a more natural ivf process would be better.

Hope you're OK x

Hi OP I have recurrent miscarriage history and now undergoing IVF I have to say that you need to be realistic that they will just give you the same drugs you have already been on - clexane prednisolone etc - you could try PGS genetic testing as there is a chance if you have been receiving treatment for sticky blood then these losses could have been chromosomal but it's not 100% accurate x

I'm with Create Birmingham and they've been brilliant with me through 4 cycles of IVF with one final one to go x
