Hi Ladies;

Once again I'm looking at VFC for answers (I should have just bite the bullet and switched clinics before our last retrieval). As it shows by my signature; I suffer from recurrent loss. Most recently we lost 2 PGS normal embryos, both with a chemical result. I did do intrillipids, prednisone, low dose aspirin, fragmin, pio & oral progesterone (I believe my clinic consulted with Dr H on this protocol) but still ended in a chemical. We were looking into surrogacy but I'm not sure in my heart I am ready to give up carrying my own child. That is still in the plans but because we have 3 more PGS normals frozen, I'm thinking maybe one more transfer. My question; does VFC offer Neupogen injections for their tough patients? I think that is the only thing we haven't tried. Any advice greatly appreciated

Hi there,

There have been girls who got the neupogen injection and the uterine wash at VFC.

Hopefully someone will chime in. Dr h cancelled my neupogen injection from my protocol as he didn't think that I needed it in the end.

Good luck with everything! I hope you find success.

Thanks mountainchick. That's good to know. I will call and see if I can get a second opinion from Dr H. Hopefully he can help me.
