Tests because of failing to implant

[Where there's hope]

Cuddlepie - I can help you with the date of the NK cell biopsy from the endometrium (you may know a high level can cause recurrent implantation failure). In the SIVF MC investigation program it is performed on approx. Day 26 of a 28 day cycle. But they will want to confirm O by tracking it with BT's so they can pinpoint the ideal biopsy date. Can be tricky coming off an IVF cycle as it can delay AF, so the test may not be performed at the right time (apparently they want to do it as late as possible in a cycle, but without the lining beginning to shed). Hope this is a help xx

Thanks WTH, its good to see your ticker....hope all is going well...

WLAB, how is your test result?

I have also booked an appt with Dr. Gavin Sacks on 28th April, just want to have a second opinion. Now I am not sure whether I should ask all these tests done when seeing my FS or Dr.S? I guess it doesn't matter where I get these done is that right? I want to stick with my FS for IVF cycles but just want to see if another pair of fresh eyes can pick up sth missing in the past. What do you think girls?

CP- well, I dont think it matters going to another Dr, and having that fresh pair of eyes...I am sure all the results will be passed on to your FS anyway. It might be good to have a new perspective.

In my case, I saw my OB, in my hometown, who said not to bother with any further tests. Then I spoke to my IVF clinic and they suggested a FS in newcastle (not even my regular FS with the clinic in Newcastle) who specialises more in recurrent miscarriage etc and I went to see her, and get the tests done/ results etc. And I am glad I did that. I have now decided to stick with her as my FS. So I guess what I am saying is, sometimes more opinions is a good thing. I even talked to yet another FS with the clinic about my situation on the phone, and got yet another perspective on things. good luck with it
