ivig advice and experiences

[Poop84]

hi all

I need to have IVIG for my frozen embryo transfer soon. We have been quoted 1.8k . …just wondering how much you paid and how many infusions of IVIG you needed?

thanks!

hello I had a quote for £2500 for one IVIG and this was in London, I was informed one is standard but it could go upto 3 after….

[river242]

I had IVIG on my 4th transfer. I was planned to have 3 infusions at a total cost of 1700 Euros (in Spain). Unfortunately that transfer failed. It does get great results I'm told but just didn't work for me.

thanks for sharing. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. I hope you get some good news soon. …if you don’t mind me asking was this a pgs embryo ? Or untested x

[river242 in reply to Poop84]

Thanks. Untested but it's donor eggs. I'm about to start round 7. We have tried granocyte and will now be adding prp injections/ infusions.

My clinic also suggested uterine e prp after 4 failures with DE. Can I ask what protocol have they offered? I've heard some doing 2 before embryo transfer and others just one 48 hrs before.

[Poop84 in reply to Nevergu]

hi my protocol

Is ivig a month before transfer then a few days before embryo transfer with steroids and blood thinners, 6 day pre receptive progesterone and ET then a follow up ivig if pregnant

[Nevergu in reply to Poop84]

Strange they do ivig a month before teansfer. Most places do it the same month to get best results. It last about a month i believe.

[Poop84 in reply to Nevergu]

I’ve been under two clinics both suggested the same protocol to be fair and I know my friends have the same too and had some good news 😀I haven’t tried this yet because I was busy collecting as many eggs.

Which are clinic are you with?

[Nevergu in reply to Poop84]

I'm with a clinic in Greece but work with a famous Immunologist in London in addition to my clinic.

[Poop84 in reply to Nevergu]

also I have my own embryos which have been tested so using those first will only do a single transfer though

[Nevergu in reply to Poop84]

I was also adviced to transfer one at the time

[river242 in reply to Nevergu]

I'm having a hysteroscopy about 3 weeks before and will have the first one then, then one 10 days before and one 5 days before.

[Nevergu in reply to river242]

Ok, so before starting progesterone. Many clinics do it 48 hrs before. I teresting, there doesn't seem to be a co sensensus on best protocol

[river242 in reply to Nevergu]

Yes seems to be no standard for this (or anything else really). It was a new suggestion for us but after 6 failed transfers I'm willing to try anything.

[Nevergu in reply to river242]

Same here, willing to try most things

[Poop84 in reply to river242]

I know you both mentioned donor eggs did they Pgs test them?

[river242 in reply to Poop84]

No they told me there was no need to test but it niggles me to be honest.

[Poop84 in reply to river242]

I will DM my experience one minute

[Nevergu in reply to Poop84]

I did both, tested snd untested

[Poop84 in reply to Nevergu]

My dr said to us after our pgs results it could be anything as to why you haven’t conceived. There’s no guarantee even with pgs or ivig ( my plan) It kinda made me sad but I know he was keeping it real with us. I know how precious any embryo is let alone tested ones. ❤️
