Tests because of failing to implant

[MumofLewis]

Hi,

Is it Lupus? Or something similar. I also had blood tests to check my immune system wasn't attacking the embryo.

Thanks. I think it's to do with Immunity. I should have listened harder but I just thought more tests, more money. And we'd wait until we got through this cycle before going down that track. Given we've got one embryo frozen this cycle, I'll probably decide to do the tests if this cycle hasn't worked, save wasting an embryo.

Is there any solution/treatment if you have something wrong with your immune system? or does it mean you won't ever get pregnant?

I'm not sure what they can do about the immunity but for clotting I think they prescribe asprin at certain stages.

Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge on this can help us out.

I've found some information on another baby forum. Looks like they give you drugs to suppress your immune system. One woman said she'd been put on prednisolone, antibiotics and low dose aspirin. She fell pregnant after her 2nd transfer of being on the drugs. So it sounds like there is hope.
