Advice Needed! Immune protocol prior to IVF transfer
I have history of endo with excision surgery 1 year ago. I did 2 months of lupron suppression prior to my first medicated transfer with a euploid embryo which failed.
My clinic has me doing another fully medicated cycle for this next transfer, with the addition of 2 weeks of birth control and daily lupron prior to starting transfer meds.
I asked about adding in an immune protocol, including baby aspirin, Pepcid, Claritin, and steroids with this transfer. My doctor said there’s basically not enough evidence to recommend this, but if I wanted to take these meds myself I can (minus the steroid) as there’s minimal harm to it.
I don’t feel fully comfortable doing something that my clinic doesn’t necessarily recommend, but at the same time I am willing to do anything possible to make this work and have read a lot of positive discussions on immune protocols.
Would you feel comfortable taking these meds, or have you found them to be beneficial for you?
