Hello Ladies
Just after a bit of advice really , got myself in a right old tizz wizz  ^idiot^ . Me and DH are wanting to have immune test done , we have already had some level one test done at GP but have found they have have missed out quite alot of test.
We have one fresh cycle of TX left with st Marys in Manchester and want to give this our best shot.
So hear is my dilemma ................... Do i have immunes done with Dr Patel @ Care and try and get my treatment transfered there as maybe it would be better for them to do immunes and treatment?
Or do i go with Dr Gorgy to have immunes done and carry on cycling with St Marys ?
Do you know who offers the most comprehensive tests ? As i dont want to look back and think what if.
Can anybody share there experiences.
Thankyou in advance  :)

gorgy offers more tests and will focus on possible infections as well as the chicago tests.

care's mark up on tests seems a little more but you might end up having fewer consults because their offering is a bit simpler -so they may end up costing less than seeing gorgy in the end.

care will tend to stop treatments by 12 weeks whereas gorgy will tend to treat you for longer - which could cost quite a bit more in treatments and retests

gorgy prescribes ivig, humira, lit and antibiotics much more often than care does - those could all add a lot to the overall cost, but then its just possible that they prove to be something that helps you but that isn't available through care.

care is probably a bit more organised but everything seems to take longer whereas you can see gorgy quickly but you have to be organised yourself.

care follows a bit more of a process - so you will basically probably get  their 'immune package' of intralipids, clexane and prednisolone, whereas with gorgy, depending what your results are you may be on that plus humira, lit, ivig and antibiotics. 

before deciding maybe look at the standard ivf results for st marys and for care in case one is significantly better than the other for ivf because that will be part of your decision too

there are pros and cons of both!

maybe read up about the tests and if you decide you definitely want to be able to consider all the extra stuff that gorgy does, go to gorgy... but if not, then Care would be good too.

best wishes
