What's going on with me *LONG*
I have been debating whether or not to post this b/c this is definitely "outside the box", and decided that if it can help ONE person, it will be worth it.
So, you all pretty much know my story...after 7 failed IVFs and then being diagnosed with a bunch of immune issues, I decided to include IVIg with my last IVF cycle to suppress my immune system in hopes of having an embryo implant. Unfortunately, that did not happen, and, as usual, I wound up getting sick in the 2ww...more proof that my body is still fighting implantation.
So, I knew there had to be something else...after discussing it with Dh, we decided to go see Dr Toth, a dr who believes that certain infections/bacteria in your body can lead to IF, cause chromosomal issues in embryos, autism, preclamsia, premature labor etc...
Well, after blood, swabs, a biopsy, and an uncomfortable exam for Dh  , lo and behold, my body is showing TONS of bacteria that can, as Dr Toth explained, " readily explain your reproductive failure".
The treatment for this is aggressive antibiotic therapy, which includes uterine washes and an iv pump for 10 days, followed by 3 weeks of oral antibiotics.
Dr Toth also believes that my immune system is affected by this bacteria, which causes it basically to go into overdrive, and hopefully, after treatment, it will resolve itself for the most part.

Re: What's going on with me *LONG*
Wow.
Thank you for posting. I think it's incredibly brave of you and I admire your strength. 
It just seems unbelieveable that our bodies could fight so hard against something they were "meant" to do.
While I know the bright side is a little hard to see on this, it does make me feel lucky that we live in this day and age (and region) where we have access to information and treatments that can help these situations.
And as always, I wish you all the luck in the world. No one deserves this more than you do.
I pray this is the solution you have been looking for Lisa.

Re: What's going on with me *LONG*
Lisa,
I don't know if this is related. A girl I worked with has a son who is 3 1/2. She had an emergency c with him. She got pregnant easily with him. From the c-section she had some kind of cross contamination with her blood from one area of her body to another. Anyways, they wanted to get pregnant again. She was able to get pregnant easily but each resulted in an early miscarriage. There were MANY miscarriages. The doctors could not explain what was causing this at all. Finally she found a doctor who did some test and discovered the cross contamination. For her to get pregnant she needed to take a serious of heavy duty antibiotics. Once the tests came back clear she got pregnant again and just gave birth about 1 1/2- 2 weeks ago to twin girls.
I hope this story brings you some hope.
