Vid needs to have a repeat SA & I will have an endometrial biopsy done. The last SA he had was about a year ago (before IVF #1) & I've never had an EB. She's concerned with the 50% fert rate even with ICSI & isn't sure if there may be some immunological issues involved. She's not sending us off to a Reproductive Immunologist yet though. No idea if our insurance would even cover that & if it doesn't I don't even want to think about how much that would cost.
She's also wondering about an implantation issue, hence the EB order, which we will do next cycle. We know I have beta thalassemia which isn't known to cause infertility but is associated with pregnancy complications (lucky me). She wonders if my BT may be screwing with my uterine lining just enough to make otherwise beautiful embryos not implant. Though my BT isn't severe enough to have ever warranted a blood transfusion, we may do one in conjunction with intralipids which are known to help infertiles with implantation problems.
So, here we go again...

Geez, I really hope that they find out what the reason is for the miscarriages.
I so hope you don't have to see a RI. They are expensive. Your RE sounds great though, not many of them believe in immunology issues.
your RE does sound good. just as much a scientist as a doc. that is reassuring.
