John Couvaras, M.D.
IVF Phoenix,
9817 N. 95th Street Bldg 1 – Ste 107,
Scottsdale, AZ 85258
www.ivfphoenix.com
Website: “Dr. Couvaras systematically sets out to reduce sources of inflammation through his Immune Balancing Protocol. It’s important to investigate an immunity imbalance in so-called unexplained infertility cases before skipping straight to in-vitro fertilization, as is the typical strategy of most other reproductive endocrinologists.”
Patient comment: “Dr Couvaras is the BEST. He's brilliant/unorthodox. He thinks outside the box. What other doctor’s label 'unexplained infertility' he's not afraid to call... 'that's bullsh*t, there's no such thing as unexplained, there's always an explanation, it's just that people don't want to hear it". He's normal, balanced and willing to try different things. In my opinion you have to be willing to think outside the box because if you don't, you probably won't get pregnant.”
H. Randall Craig M.D.
Fertility Treatment Center,
2155 E Conference Dr #115,

Doctor comment: “Immunologic problems are treated with immunotherapy. If the cause is related to activated immune cells and their cytokines, treatments include: Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg)and Intralipid. If either acquired or inherited thrombophilia is causing clotting of the placental vessel and subsequent pregnancy loss, then heparin and aspirin are the treatments of choice. If the blood clotting is the result of an immune process, then steroids can be used.”

Phone: (310) 247-8920
Patient comment: “...I went to 6 before I found a great Dr. who totally believes in immune issues and treats them. He does not advertise. Every one that goes to him heard about him from someone that was successfully treated. The only thing he does not do is LIT (since he legally cannot). He did LIT for many years before it was banned. His name is Robert Friedland and he is in Beverly Hills (but does not charge Bev Hills prices). I have met numerous women in his waiting room who have had 6 plus m/cs and then finally a baby after he treated them. The only reason I am posting this is because it took me so long to find someone who really believed in my problems. It took me 2 years to find him and I wish I knew about him sooner. He is now supporting me in getting LIT in Mexico with Dr. Beers.”

Patient comment: “He sends IVF patients to Dr. Zouves (also in the SF Bay Area). Will not administer IVIG in his in offices but will prescribe. He is very helpful in trying to get Dr Beer meds through his office. He is matter-of-fact, but not in a harsh way. He is very concerned for the welfare of his patients and almost takes it personally when a pg fails. Best of all, my dh thinks he the best which helps so much in the process. He is great!”

Comment from Edward Illions, M.D., Medical Director, “Our work up for patients with recurrent pregnancy losses and failed implantation cycles during IVF does include testing for APLS (Lupus anticoagulant, B2GP-1 Ab’s and Anticardiolipin Ab’s). We will test for the typical blood clotting agents when indicated and these include; Leiden V (or activated Protein C resistance as the initial screening test), Prothrombin II Gene mutation. MTHFR is no longer considered part of the tests required for RPL or failed implantation cycles since the literature does not support that test. I would rather rely on a fasting homocysteine level. We will test for protein S,C, and anti-thrombin III IF the patient’s history for clotting supports those tests, but again these are not part of the panel that is required for RPL or failed implantation patients. We do not test for NK activity (uterine or peripheral) since the literature yields conflicted evidence at best and/or no benefit in other studies. We typically also obtain thyroid antibodies (TPO) in this population. We do not have any specific reproductive immunologists that we typically work with but I do have some expert(s) in the area of RPL and failed implantation whose advice I typically seek for difficult cases.”

Patient comment: “After several losses I was diagnosed with nine immunological issues, including an imbalanced thyroid, elevated natural killer cells, elevated testosterone, elevated T cells, compromised blood flow to the uterus, increased Homocysteine levels, Factor XIII mutation, HPA-1a mutation, and a Beta-Fibrinogen mutation. I would not have been able to have Jack without the help and support of Dr. Beltsos who coordinated my treatment with Dr. Kwak.”
Center comment: “We typically order a blood panel for RPL patients to evaluate for MTHFR, NK Cells, thyroglobulin antibody, Factor V Leiden, Beta-2 glycoprotein I Ab, Antinuclear Ab, Anticardiolipin Ab, and more. Our Chicago patients are referred by Dr Beltsos and Dr Jeelani to Dr Kwak-Kim for reproductive immunology care, and in collaboration with Dr Kwak-Kim we’ve been able to see many patients with a history of RPL achieve a successful pregnancy.”

Comment: “Dr Sher is an internationally renowned authority on immunologic causes of infertility and the pioneer of many “firsts” in the field of IVF. 60% of his patients travel from out of state to see him; such is his expertise and success rate.”
From website: “The idea that, having failed IVF, all it takes to ultimately succeed is to keep trying over and over using the same recipe is overly simplistic. There are numerous non-embryologic factors that can be responsible for failed IVF. This section addresses immunologic factors that cause implantation failure. There are two types of immunologic reactions or immune factors involved in conception and infertility: 1. Autoimmune disorders are more common, implicated in over 90% of immune-related infertility… This is an abnormal reaction that is associated with several non-pregnancy related diseases. 2. Alloimmune disorders, where antibodies against tissue associated with the male partner (e.g. paternal sperm proteins) are produced. Alloimmune problems are associated with less than 10% of implantation failure or recurrent pregnancy loss.”

Comment: “Dr Kwak-Kim is a highly respected authority on the subject of reproductive immunology. Her protocols are not overly aggressive and therefore they can be applied speedily (important for women over 40) for positive results where all else has previously failed.”

Comment: One of the best fertility doctors in the US. Offers testing for immune issues “before couples opt for expensive and possibly unnecessary IVF treatment.”
From website: “Laboratory tests may possibly be ordered to evaluate the possibility of an immune response in relation to your history of pregnancy loss. The field of reproductive immunology is a relatively new area of medicine. Our goal is to identify possible explanations to recurrent pregnancy loss and offer individualized medical treatment options.”

Meeting with him further confirmed that we were on the right path following the medical protocol of Dr. Sheri Hamersley. Both doctors gave us great care and my next two pregnancies were healthy, full time pregnancies after multiple miscarriages.”

While the surgery greatly improves the outcome, any patients who have gone on to become pregnant and miscarry, or those who have failed to conceive at all, should arrange for a reproductive immunology profile. I highly recommend seeing the world authority on Reproductive Immunology, Dr. Jeffrey Braverman with whom we have worked with great success with these types of patients.”

He is very caring and compassionate for his patients and tailors protocols based on history and response.”

He had nothing but praise about the work and research Dr. Beer has done/doing. That was a big relief for me. His office is professional and his nurse is very very helpful and friendly. They even drew the blood for me for my NK testings. I had to do another IVIG (back to back) because my NKs were slightly elevated. As soon as I left his office, Dr. Parnell called Dr. Beer right away and spoke to him about my treatment. He called me on my cell on my way home to tell me… wow!!!”

Patient comment: “Cheryl is the in-staff, first point of contact for fertility issues. She is well-versed in the common fertility issues (e.g., having a sperm count run, prescribing Clomid, etc.). She is also very open to the idea that immunology may play a role and is happy to write up the orders for you to get APA and ANA levels tested, usually through RIA labs in Los Angeles. Anything beyond the need for Lovenox + Prednisone, though, and you've got to call the shots. When I brought info to her from Dr. Beer's book and asked for a requisition to have additional tests run, she was happy to oblige, but she acknowledged that I had done a lot more research about reproductive immunology than she had."

She was actually cutting back on OB patients but accepted me because she had such an interest in his research and wanted to learn more. That was so wonderful. I had weekly non-stress tests for the last 2 1/2 months of the pregnancy (even though they were all very healthy) and lost of ultrasounds just
because she understood my need to 'take no chances'. If anyone is in the Olympia/Tacoma area I would strongly recommend Dr Marilyn Gage.”

From website: “When the immune system is the cause of miscarriage, the chances of the mother having a successful pregnancy after 3 miscarriages without treatment such as Intralipid or/and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is 30%, after 4 miscarriages 25% and after 5 only 5%. With the proper treatment, the overall success is 80%. We are a specialised clinic treating women with recurrent spontaneous miscarriages, recurrent implantation failure and immune related infertility. We offer Intralipid, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment and advanced hysteroscopy and laparoscopy surgeries tailored to woman’s individual case.”

Patient comment: “She will test for NK cells and prescribe prednisone if required. You don't have to do IVF to see her. She also said with my recurrent miscarriage history she would use prednisone even though my immune tests have all been low levels, nothing out of the ordinary. She takes every precaution and covers all bases. She has also given me scripts for Clexane and progesterone. So if you are in Melbourne and want someone very open, very thorough, not dismissive of anything etc, I highly recommend Lyn. I have heard from other patients of hers on other forums that she has a very high success rate with pregnancy.”

Website: “One of the missed diagnoses for recurrent implantation failure and recurrent early pregnancy loss is an underlying female immune system disorder. While this concept of overactive NK cells is widely accepted by most physicians, the method for diagnosis and management of these disorders is controversial. As a result, investigations and treatments should be considered experimental at this point. Among those controversial empiric therapies are intralipids or IVIG infusions, immune modifiers like Humira, and related drugs.To try and identify the cause of recurrent pregnancy loss, genetic testing for both partners, sperm testing, evaluation for clotting and immune disorders is performed.”

Comment: “Will do LIT according to the following protocol (their words)
Come to us in the morning (ideally between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m.) because we have the inject certain times in our laboratory. The first step would be to draw blood (70ml) from your partner. Usually the treatment is ready by 12:00 a.m.The costs for therapy are 230,58 Euro + 68,05 Euro in case anti D prophylaxis is indicated. Side effects mainly are local redness and itching for about 2-3 weeks. Risks are those for infectious disease (like in transfusion medicine), therefore your partner should be tested accordingly. HLA antibodies are elicited, antibodies against other blood cells could possibly be elicited. But in our 20 years of experience we did not have negative reports on this.”

From website: “Studies continue to demonstrate that the complex communication between the implanting embryo and the mother’s immune system is critical for pregnancy to succeed. Issues which cause miscarriages or repeat chemical pregnancies may also lead to recurrent implantation failure when they occur at the start of pregnancy. In these cases we make a thorough investigation of uterine, sperm, infection and where possible, genetic problems, but we will also try to find and address any immunological or blood clotting problems.”
Patient comment: “Prior to the Greek financial crisis there was a long wait to see the Professor, but as government funding has been withdrawn, appointments are apparently available very quickly. My understanding is that he uses a laboratory in Athens for the tests so does not have to send bloods to Chicago so the results are available quickly and cost about half the price of the Chicago versions for tests including the NK assay, immunophenotype and cytokines. The arrangement is that Serum help you arrange to see the immunologist who recommends the tests you need and advises on the results (you would need to pay the immunologist directly and Serum don't receive any fee for arranging for you to see him).”

From website: “If you have been counseled with regard to reproductive immunology testing and chosen to have the test performed, the results will inform us as to whether there may be an immune factor that may be affecting implantation.”

www.reproductivehealthgroup.co.uk
Comment: “Provides a full immune work up plus a full range of treatments for patients with unexplained infertility and recurrent loss. Testing of the immune system is also undertaken in the following cases: where there is a history of immune disorders, history of thyroid disease, or a previous pregnancy with placenta related complications such as pre-eclampsia, premature delivery or fetal growth restriction.”
Sims IVF Dublin,
Clonskeagh Road,
Clonskeagh, D14 A312
www.sims.ie
From website: “Sims IVF carries out a number of tests to identify immune system problems. We test whether you have antibodies that might hamper the conception and pregnancy process. We also test for Natural Killer (NK) cells, NK T-cells and general maternal cytokine profiles which are mediated by CD4 positive T-cells, all of which might have been overstimulated at some point. In vitro investigations employed at Sims IVF over the past 8 years reveal that Intralipids have the ability to suppress NK cytotoxicity above and beyond that of IVIG, the previous agent employed.”
Care Fertility,
Beacon Court,
Sandyford,
Dublin 18
www.beaconcarefertility.ie
From website: “We can give you special tests which can identify if you are at risk of immune problems. These tests measure Natural Killer Cell activity. Natural Killer cells are part of a normal immune system and help to fight off infection but research suggests that sometimes these cells can attack the early embryo or foetus leading to implantation failure or miscarriage.”

Dr Amin Gorgy,
The Fertility & Gynaecology Academy,
57a Wimpole Street,
London W1G 8YP,
www.fertility-academy.co.uk
From website: “The late Dr Alan E. Beer is widely credited to be a pioneer in the field of reproductive immunology. He believed it is not simply due to bad luck that some women fail to conceive or have repeated miscarriage. At The Fertility & Gynaecology Academy we have the experience to minimise recurrent miscarriage and IVF failure by investigating the immune system and offering immune therapy tailored to your individual situation. For an in-depth look at reproductive immunology we would recommend Is Your Body Baby Friendly?: Unexplained Infertility, Miscarriage and IVF Failure, Explained, by Dr Alan E. Beer.”
Patient comment: “He used to be a director at the London Fertility Centre and then at ARGC and has now set up his own clinic. I rang up and had a consultation (£100) with him and he has agreed to prescribe all my immune meds. (ie steroids, IVIG, gestone etc) and administer the IVIG at his clinic. He was recommended by both Dr. Beer (who he worked with at the ARGC) and one
of the doctors at the LFC.”
More patient comments: “Yes he is nice, although a little on the quiet side at first and it takes a while to get to know him.Costs- well the Chicago tests are £780 for a comprehensive panel (about the going rate for these tests) a consultation is £100 and a folllow up £70, standard IVF is £2000 + drugs and blood tests. The drugs are expensive, but you can't get away from that, Mr Gorgy will give you a prescription and I shopped around for the best price I could. There is not usually much of a waiting list. Yes, Mr Gorgy is knowledge about immune issues and certainly has got me further than anyone else so far. One of the best things about being treated about Mr Gorgy is that compared to drs at other clinics I have found him very accessible, you can speak to him on the phone (although sometimes you might have to chase!)”. “As of December 2008, apparently Dr Gorgy will prescribe Intralipids”

Dr George Ndukwe,

www.zitawest.com
Patient comment: “Dr Ndukwe trained with Alan Beer and is very familiar with reproductive immunology. He uses Intralipid for IVF and is open to other immunotherapies. He also works with Zita West, an acupuncture, natural medicine specialist.”
Website: “Pregnancy is the only situation where something completely foreign is allowed to stay in the body without being rejected. If something goes wrong with this immune mechanism, successful implantation could be hindered. That is why at the Zita West Clinic, we carry out tests to ensure that the woman has no immunological problems that could otherwise prevent a successful embryo implantation.”

Patient comment: “I am a patient of Trevor Wing. He did the NK Assay, DQ Alpha last week, hopefully the results will be in by the end of this week from Beer Centre. He has already scheduled an endometrial biopsy for me on 1st Dec. before the instruction from Beer Centre. If your own local doctor is willing to help with the blood taking you could pack and Fedex them yourself. Lots of ladies in the UK have done their blood test this way. CARE Nottingham Mandy mentioned has good reputation, therefore there is a 12-week waiting for a consultation, you also need your own doctor's referral. As Mandy said there are a few choices, it is a personal choice. I choose Trevor Wing to do the immune test for now is because he is only half hour drive away.”

IVF Phoenix,

Scottsdale, AZ 85258
www.ivfphoenix.com
Website: “Dr. Couvaras systematically sets out to reduce sources of inflammation through his Immune Balancing Protocol. It’s important to investigate an immunity imbalance in so-called unexplained infertility cases before skipping straight to in-vitro fertilization, as is the typical strategy of most other reproductive endocrinologists.”
Patient comment: “Dr Couvaras is the BEST. He's brilliant/unorthodox. He thinks outside the box. What other doctor’s label 'unexplained infertility' he's not afraid to call... 'that's bullsh*t, there's no such thing as unexplained, there's always an explanation, it's just that people don't want to hear it". He's normal, balanced and willing to try different things. In my opinion you have to be willing to think outside the box because if you don't, you probably won't get pregnant.”

Doctor comment: “Immunologic problems are treated with immunotherapy. If the cause is related to activated immune cells and their cytokines, treatments include: Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg)and Intralipid. If either acquired or inherited thrombophilia is causing clotting of the placental vessel and subsequent pregnancy loss, then heparin and aspirin are the treatments of choice. If the blood clotting is the result of an immune process, then steroids can be used.”

Comment from Dr. Koop: “We frequently order ANA, Anti TPO, antiphospholipid, MTHFR, LAC and other tests of immune function (crp, esr, food sensitivity, leaky gut etc). Regarding NK cells we would usually work in collaboration with an immunologist for these more in-depth studies.”

Patient comment: “...I went to 6 before I found a great Dr. who totally believes in immune issues and treats them. He does not advertise. Every one that goes to him heard about him from someone that was successfully treated. The only thing he does not do is LIT (since he legally cannot). He did LIT for many years before it was banned. His name is Robert Friedland and he is in Beverly Hills (but does not charge Bev Hills prices). I have met numerous women in his waiting room who have had 6 plus m/cs and then finally a baby after he treated them. The only reason I am posting this is because it took me so long to find someone who really believed in my problems. It took me 2 years to find him and I wish I knew about him sooner. He is now supporting me in getting LIT in Mexico with Dr. Beers.”

He is very helpful in trying to get Dr Beer meds through his office. He is matter-of-fact, but not in a harsh way. He is very concerned for the welfare of his patients and almost takes it personally when a pg fails. Best of all, my dh thinks he the best which helps so much in the process. He is great!”

Comment from Edward Illions, M.D., Medical Director, “Our work up for patients with recurrent pregnancy losses and failed implantation cycles during IVF does include testing for APLS (Lupus anticoagulant, B2GP-1 Ab’s and Anticardiolipin Ab’s). We will test for the typical blood clotting agents when indicated and these include; Leiden V (or activated Protein C resistance as the initial screening test), Prothrombin II Gene mutation. MTHFR is no longer considered part of the tests required for RPL or failed implantation cycles since the literature does not support that test. I would rather rely on a fasting homocysteine level. We will test for protein S,C, and anti-thrombin III IF the patient’s history for clotting supports those tests, but again these are not part of the panel that is required for RPL or failed implantation patients. We do not test for NK activity (uterine or peripheral) since the literature yields conflicted evidence at best and/or no benefit in other studies. We typically also obtain thyroid antibodies (TPO) in this population. We do not have any specific reproductive immunologists that we typically work with but I do have some expert(s) in the area of RPL and failed implantation whose advice I typically seek for difficult cases.”

Patient comment: “After several losses I was diagnosed with nine immunological issues, including an imbalanced thyroid, elevated natural killer cells, elevated testosterone, elevated T cells, compromised blood flow to the uterus, increased Homocysteine levels, Factor XIII mutation, HPA-1a mutation, and a Beta-Fibrinogen mutation. I would not have been able to have Jack without the help and support of Dr. Beltsos who coordinated my treatment with Dr. Kwak.”
Center comment: “We typically order a blood panel for RPL patients to evaluate for MTHFR, NK Cells, thyroglobulin antibody, Factor V Leiden, Beta-2 glycoprotein I Ab, Antinuclear Ab, Anticardiolipin Ab, and more. Our Chicago patients are referred by Dr Beltsos and Dr Jeelani to Dr Kwak-Kim for reproductive immunology care, and in collaboration with Dr Kwak-Kim we’ve been able to see many patients with a history of RPL achieve a successful pregnancy.”

From website: “Dr Coulam is known for the devoted care she provides to her patients and enjoys an international reputation for her contributions to medical/scientific education and research. As one of the first female Reproductive Immunologists in the field, she has also set other ‘firsts’ while simultaneously raising ten children of her own. She has more than 200 publications in peer-reviewed journals to her credit. Dr Coulam has special expertise in the area of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, and is an internationally-sought speaker on the topic as well as issues involving reproductive immunology.” From www.winfertility.com.

Kathy Trumbull, M.D.
Sher Institute for Reproductive Medicine,
5401 N. Knoxville Ave. Suite 102
Peoria, IL 61614
www.haveababy.com
Comment: “Dr Sher is an internationally renowned authority on immunologic causes of infertility and the pioneer of many “firsts” in the field of IVF. 60% of his patients travel from out of state to see him; such is his expertise and success rate.”
From website: “The idea that, having failed IVF, all it takes to ultimately succeed is to keep trying over and over using the same recipe is overly simplistic. There are numerous non-embryologic factors that can be responsible for failed IVF. This section addresses immunologic factors that cause implantation failure. There are two types of immunologic reactions or immune factors involved in conception and infertility: 1. Autoimmune disorders are more common, implicated in over 90% of immune-related infertility… This is an abnormal reaction that is associated with several non-pregnancy related diseases. 2. Alloimmune disorders, where antibodies against tissue associated with the male partner (e.g. paternal sperm proteins) are produced. Alloimmune problems are associated with less than 10% of implantation failure or recurrent pregnancy loss.”

Comment: One of the best fertility doctors in the US. Offers testing for immune issues “before couples opt for expensive and possibly unnecessary IVF treatment.”
From website: “Laboratory tests may possibly be ordered to evaluate the possibility of an immune response in relation to your history of pregnancy loss. The field of reproductive immunology is a relatively new area of medicine. Our goal is to identify possible explanations to recurrent pregnancy loss and offer individualized medical treatment options.”

Meeting with him further confirmed that we were on the right path following the medical protocol of Dr. Sheri Hamersley. Both doctors gave us great care and my next two pregnancies were healthy, full time pregnancies after multiple miscarriages.”

While the surgery greatly improves the outcome, any patients who have gone on to become pregnant and miscarry, or those who have failed to conceive at all, should arrange for a reproductive immunology profile. I highly recommend seeing the world authority on Reproductive Immunology, Dr. Jeffrey Braverman with whom we have worked with great success with these types of patients.”

Patient comment: “Dr. Tortoriello was my RE. For my first consult, he spent over an hour on the phone with me discussing my case and even offered to work with my local RE. I had previously undiagnosed partial DQ Alpha and had been TTC for 3yrs. We ended up doing 2 IVFs with Dr. T and now I am 18.5 weeks pregnant with a singleton. He is very caring and compassionate for his patients and tailors protocols based on history and response.”
Patient comment: “Dr. Tortoriello is an amazing man but be warned they will not do humira or test for some of the things Dr Beer will. They also treat with intralipids.”
Website: “Dr Jeff Wang has a special interest in unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and repeated implantation failure following IVF.”

He is familiar with Dr. Beer's work and treatment and he welcomes it. He was delighted to see Dr. Beer's name on my records and he was excited to talk to him about my situation. He had nothing but praise about the work and research Dr. Beer has done/doing. That was a big relief for me. His office is professional and his nurse is very very helpful and friendly. They even drew the blood for me for my NK testings. I had to do another IVIG (back to back) because my NKs were slightly elevated. As soon as I left his office, Dr. Parnell called Dr. Beer right away and spoke to him about my treatment. He called me on my cell on my way home to tell me… wow!!!”

Patient comment: “Cheryl is the in-staff, first point of contact for fertility issues. She is well-versed in the common fertility issues (e.g., having a sperm count run, prescribing Clomid, etc.). She is also very open to the idea that immunology may play a role and is happy to write up the orders for you to get APA and ANA levels tested, usually through RIA labs in Los Angeles. Anything beyond the need for Lovenox + Prednisone, though, and you've got to call the shots. When I brought info to her from Dr. Beer's book and asked for a requisition to have additional tests run, she was happy to oblige, but she acknowledged that I had done a lot more research about reproductive immunology than she had."

She was actually cutting back on OB patients but accepted me because she had such an interest in his research and wanted to learn more. That was so wonderful. I had weekly non-stress tests for the last 2 1/2 months of the pregnancy (even though they were all very healthy) and lost of ultrasounds just
because she understood my need to 'take no chances'. If anyone is in the Olympia/Tacoma area I would strongly recommend Dr Marilyn Gage.”

From website: “When the immune system is the cause of miscarriage, the chances of the mother having a successful pregnancy after 3 miscarriages without treatment such as Intralipid or/and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is 30%, after 4 miscarriages 25% and after 5 only 5%. With the proper treatment, the overall success is 80%. We are a specialised clinic treating women with recurrent spontaneous miscarriages, recurrent implantation failure and immune related infertility. We offer Intralipid, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment and advanced hysteroscopy and laparoscopy surgeries tailored to woman’s individual case.”

Patient comment: “She will test for NK cells and prescribe prednisone if required. You don't have to do IVF to see her. She also said with my recurrent miscarriage history she would use prednisone even though my immune tests have all been low levels, nothing out of the ordinary. She takes every precaution and covers all bases. She has also given me scripts for Clexane and progesterone. So if you are in Melbourne and want someone very open, very thorough, not dismissive of anything etc, I highly recommend Lyn. I have heard from other patients of hers on other forums that she has a very high success rate with pregnancy.”

The focus of his studies was on why some women’s immune systems “reject” their baby, leading to miscarriage and IVF failure. As such, Dr Tremellen has a keen clinical interest in investigation and management of recurrent miscarriage and IVF failure.”

Website: “One of the missed diagnoses for recurrent implantation failure and recurrent early pregnancy loss is an underlying female immune system disorder. While this concept of overactive NK cells is widely accepted by most physicians, the method for diagnosis and management of these disorders is controversial. As a result, investigations and treatments should be considered experimental at this point. Among those controversial empiric therapies are intralipids or IVIG infusions, immune modifiers like Humira, and related drugs.To try and identify the cause of recurrent pregnancy loss, genetic testing for both partners, sperm testing, evaluation for clotting and immune disorders is performed.”

Comment: “Will do LIT according to the following protocol (their words)
Come to us in the morning (ideally between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m.) because we have the inject certain times in our laboratory. The first step would be to draw blood (70ml) from your partner. Usually the treatment is ready by 12:00 a.m.The costs for therapy are 230,58 Euro + 68,05 Euro in case anti D prophylaxis is indicated. Side effects mainly are local redness and itching for about 2-3 weeks. Risks are those for infectious disease (like in transfusion medicine), therefore your partner should be tested accordingly. HLA antibodies are elicited, antibodies against other blood cells could possibly be elicited. But in our 20 years of experience we did not have negative reports on this.”

From website: “Studies continue to demonstrate that the complex communication between the implanting embryo and the mother’s immune system is critical for pregnancy to succeed. Issues which cause miscarriages or repeat chemical pregnancies may also lead to recurrent implantation failure when they occur at the start of pregnancy. In these cases we make a thorough investigation of uterine, sperm, infection and where possible, genetic problems, but we will also try to find and address any immunological or blood clotting problems.”
Patient comment: “Prior to the Greek financial crisis there was a long wait to see the Professor, but as government funding has been withdrawn, appointments are apparently available very quickly. My understanding is that he uses a laboratory in Athens for the tests so does not have to send bloods to Chicago so the results are available quickly and cost about half the price of the Chicago versions for tests including the NK assay, immunophenotype and cytokines. The arrangement is that Serum help you arrange to see the immunologist who recommends the tests you need and advises on the results (you would need to pay the immunologist directly and Serum don't receive any fee for arranging for you to see him).”

From website: “If you have been counseled with regard to reproductive immunology testing and chosen to have the test performed, the results will inform us as to whether there may be an immune factor that may be affecting implantation.”

Comment: “Provides a full immune work up plus a full range of treatments for patients with unexplained infertility and recurrent loss. Testing of the immune system is also undertaken in the following cases: where there is a history of immune disorders, history of thyroid disease, or a previous pregnancy with placenta related complications such as pre-eclampsia, premature delivery or fetal growth restriction.”
Sims IVF Dublin,

From website: “Sims IVF carries out a number of tests to identify immune system problems. We test whether you have antibodies that might hamper the conception and pregnancy process. We also test for Natural Killer (NK) cells, NK T-cells and general maternal cytokine profiles which are mediated by CD4 positive T-cells, all of which might have been overstimulated at some point. In vitro investigations employed at Sims IVF over the past 8 years reveal that Intralipids have the ability to suppress NK cytotoxicity above and beyond that of IVIG, the previous agent employed.”

From website: “We can give you special tests which can identify if you are at risk of immune problems. These tests measure Natural Killer Cell activity. Natural Killer cells are part of a normal immune system and help to fight off infection but research suggests that sometimes these cells can attack the early embryo or foetus leading to implantation failure or miscarriage.”

Dr Amin Gorgy,
The Fertility & Gynaecology Academy,
57a Wimpole Street,
London W1G 8YP,
www.fertility-academy.co.uk
From website: “The late Dr Alan E. Beer is widely credited to be a pioneer in the field of reproductive immunology. He believed it is not simply due to bad luck that some women fail to conceive or have repeated miscarriage. At The Fertility & Gynaecology Academy we have the experience to minimise recurrent miscarriage and IVF failure by investigating the immune system and offering immune therapy tailored to your individual situation. For an in-depth look at reproductive immunology we would recommend Is Your Body Baby Friendly?: Unexplained Infertility, Miscarriage and IVF Failure, Explained, by Dr Alan E. Beer.”
Patient comment: “He used to be a director at the London Fertility Centre and then at ARGC and has now set up his own clinic. I rang up and had a consultation (£100) with him and he has agreed to prescribe all my immune meds. (ie steroids, IVIG, gestone etc) and administer the IVIG at his clinic. He was recommended by both Dr. Beer (who he worked with at the ARGC) and one
of the doctors at the LFC.”
More patient comments: “Yes he is nice, although a little on the quiet side at first and it takes a while to get to know him.Costs- well the Chicago tests are £780 for a comprehensive panel (about the going rate for these tests) a consultation is £100 and a folllow up £70, standard IVF is £2000 + drugs and blood tests. The drugs are expensive, but you can't get away from that, Mr Gorgy will give you a prescription and I shopped around for the best price I could. There is not usually much of a waiting list. Yes, Mr Gorgy is knowledge about immune issues and certainly has got me further than anyone else so far. One of the best things about being treated about Mr Gorgy is that compared to drs at other clinics I have found him very accessible, you can speak to him on the phone (although sometimes you might have to chase!)”. “As of December 2008, apparently Dr Gorgy will prescribe Intralipids”

Patient comment: “Dr Ndukwe trained with Alan Beer and is very familiar with reproductive immunology. He uses Intralipid for IVF and is open to other immunotherapies. He also works with Zita West, an acupuncture, natural medicine specialist.”
Website: “Pregnancy is the only situation where something completely foreign is allowed to stay in the body without being rejected. If something goes wrong with this immune mechanism, successful implantation could be hindered. That is why at the Zita West Clinic, we carry out tests to ensure that the woman has no immunological problems that could otherwise prevent a successful embryo implantation.”

We can do the diagnostic tests here in our clinic, and if the results are positive we can also offer you an extremely effective, safe and inexpensive treatment, after which the chances of a positive pregnancy outcome are increased to 80%. Treatments for infertility and recurrent miscarriage include Humira, Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor, Prednisone and Intralipid infusion.”

Patient comment: “I am a patient of Trevor Wing. He did the NK Assay, DQ Alpha last week, hopefully the results will be in by the end of this week from Beer Centre. He has already scheduled an endometrial biopsy for me on 1st Dec. before the instruction from Beer Centre. If your own local doctor is willing to help with the blood taking you could pack and Fedex them yourself. Lots of ladies in the UK have done their blood test this way. CARE Nottingham Mandy mentioned has good reputation, therefore there is a 12-week waiting for a consultation, you also need your own doctor's referral. As Mandy said there are a few choices, it is a personal choice. I choose Trevor Wing to do the immune test for now is because he is only half hour drive away.”
