    Repeat implantation failure

    Hi Dr. Sher, I come from Denmark and here we can't screen our embryos - so we transfer untested. I have had all initial testing done in August last year before starting my egg retrievals and all my tests were… — Julie R.

    Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered

    Implantation dysfunction is often overlooked as a significant reason for IVF failure. This is especially true when IVF failure is unexplained, or when there are recurring pregnancy losses or underlying issues with the uterus, such as endo-uterine surface lesions, thin uterine lining (endometrium), or immunological factors. IVF success…

    HLA-DQA complete match

    Dr. Geoffrey Sher answered

    Unless there is a concomitant NK cell activation, a DQ alpha match is in my opinion irrelevant and no treatment is required. There has to be both NKa+ a match. This is regardless of whether iot is a "partial" or a complete match. A partial match is treatable…
