Yes I'm still here I lurk mostly , sorry I missed this post earlier.
Try ringing SIVF and asking for Devora Liebberman - she runs the Miscarriage Management Program there - and that is how you get all the immunology testing done - his and hers(!).
Thanks for the useful information.
I had severe abdomenal pain and increased body temperature after ET for 3 days. My doc did not mention anything about the possibility of immune reaction. I shall bring this up in the next consultation.
Eager to know the condition of 3p after the immune treatment.
Could 3p please share further.
Thank you in advance.

Wish I'd seen this post earlier - would have armed me with questions to ask.
Wonder if GP would perform the blood tests or would it have to be Assisted Conception Unit clinic?
BTW, phoned clinic a couple of weeks ago to inform them that recent cycle was negative & left message (saying it was negative) & they still haven't phoned back! Not impressed as previous 2 times they did phone back.
Does anyone know the cost of all these blood tests??
And why arent these tests done before IVF, its so sad how people go on with the "undiagnosed infertility" track for years without even once being referred for these type of testings. Gets me so upset
After my first failed IVF I asked my Dr for the immunological testing and came back proving positive for NKC. For my second IVF cycle I had steroids and Heparin injections. I had three embryos transferred on day 3 at 8 cells classified as Grade 2 (my clinic goes 1-5). I am 37 and TTC 7 years, the NKC is the only positive diagnosis my husband and I have had and I was so sure this was it.
While disappointed I would like to find out more about good places for treatment for this in England. I currently live in Asia but have decided to go back home to try and sort this out properly. Any advice on who and where would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I would love to hear about other people who have tested for this, done the treatment and what their outcome was.
