PRP is a very controversial treatment. There are 2 types: Ovarian PRP for "rejuvenation". In my opinion this does NOT work. Uterine PRP: to improve implantation. This might work for some cases and there is no age limit! Good Luck! Geoff Sher PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS AND…

Immunology & Implantation
Hi Dr Sher I am looking for any supportive data for the claim that complete HLA-DQA matching is impossible to treat with immune therapy. Can you help? Thanks Gavin — Gavin S.
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…
