B.,
I received many IVIG treatments during infertility treatment and pregnancy. We also went to Dr. Carolyn Coulam who is with Reinhart Center for Reproductive Medicine and had a great experience with her and her staff. I have done loads of research on this topic and have dealt with insurance companies, as it is not often covered. Would be happy to discuss in more detail if you want to email!

yes plesae feel free to contact me for more info. It works and it cna help. Do you see Dr Kwak-Kim? I went ot Highland park hospital and had it infesed and my insurance even covered it. you can even do it at home wiht a home helath care nurse, not sure how to go that route but your primary care or the Reproductive immunologist should be able to help. It took me 5 years and I did Humira and IVIG and prednisone that did the trick but had 7 miscarrages before that. It was a hard tough road, 7 iuis and 5 ivfs and even used two surrogates. I am definietly experience so please ask the questions. Oh i also did LIT in Mexico! there is a great yahoo group do you belong to it?? If not get on there gosh the girls were what helped me though it and I would never have gotten pg or stayed pg with out their advice. If I can find the site I will try to send it ot you. E-mail me when you can, hang in there and go for it!
Best wishes

Yes. I received two or three treatments during the early part of my pregnancy at the Rinehart Center for Reproductive Medicine in Evanston. Great place -- it's small, and they treat each patient personally.

I'm not doing IVIG treatments but I am also going to Rinehart Center to see Dr. Coulam for immunology issues. The other person said they do it there, so they must.
