Hi Cuddlepie

I don't know much about ANA as I never tested for it. if your test result shows a titre of 80 then yes, that is 1:80 which is higher than 1:40 which would be a positive test.

I didn't take clexane or prednisone, so can't comment on these products or what they do. I did end up taking asprin before my last IVF cycle and I got a BFP. As I wrote in my previous post, I"m inclined to throw everything in there (as long as it is safe) ... because at the end of the day, I think it's more important to get your BFP than it is to know what has been causing the infertility. I still don't know what our problem was with conceiving, and although it would be nice to say "it was because of xyz..." I'm just happy that whatever we did differently has worked for us.

So throughout the month before I started injections, i took asprin, royal jelly tablets, elevit, probiotics and high dose multi B vitamins. once i started injections I stopped the asprin (my EPU was 9 days after starting injections and I bled more than on my previous EPU) and after EPU I stopped taking everything except elevit. We did ICSI (we only had 3 eggs) which was new for us and 2 fertlised. we transferred 2 embies because the FS said the second one was not good enough to freeze and we got a BFP. Maybe it was more good luck than good management, but we've got to try something, right?

Anyway, good luck with your next cycle!
