Recommendations for dr/clinic in the U.S.?

As I mentioned at the end of my long rambling post I just wrote...I am asking for recommendations for drs and/or a clinic that specializes in recurrent miscarriages....not necessarily a fertility clinic in general - I don't have a problem getting pregnant - but one that specializes in my problem of STAYING that way.

I don't care where they're at in the U.S., since I'll already be dragging my ancient, decrepit ass all the way there anyways...one side of the U.S. is the same as another to me after that much flying.

I need someone who can listen and not get stuck at the red light after hearing my age/blood clotting issues.

If anyone knows of a good dr/clinic (or if there's one you know that sucks and I should stay away from...please forewarn me!), please let me know the info on them.  I'll also look on the internet...but figure the more info I have, the better options I have.

Thank you.

just a thought - would a military Dr in the US be willing to accept your records and test reslults and maybe do a phone call or conference call with you and the local Dr to help work through this?

I'm not military, so I'm not restricted to military drs....but I hope whomever I talk to will do a telephonic consultation w/me to let me know if they think they can do anything before coming over.   The local dr (the one I normally see...not the one I saw today) is pretty good at listening to me and testing things I suggest...but not at coming up w/his own conclusions re somethings...ie....I'm the one who asked him to check the thickness of the endometrium (uterine lining)....which turned out to be thin...otherwise, he'd have never checked it.  I know I'm leaving here by December...I just don't know where I'm going yet.  Wherever it's at, I hope they have better drs/hospitals.

Check out this program.   http://www.uchospitals.edu/specialties/obgyn/pregnancy-loss/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_content=rpl&utm_campaign=rpl&gclid=CPyjn5nGw5sCFRINDQodO0MSAA

Also, I would look and see if there are any programs at John's Hopkins or Mayo Clinic.  

Grrrr.......I hate firefox sometimes not letting me post the actual clickable link.   Sorry

Thanks Julie...I'll go check out the program...and will look into Johns Hopkin & Mayo also...I had actually mentioned to my DH that I wanted to look into both of them on my way home today.

The Scherr (sp) Clinic in NYC.  He specializes in hard cases like us.  Also try, www.rialab.com to look in to the Immunological situation.  HTH.

Thanks Cyndy.  The rialab.com is actually on my 'hit-list' to check out...it's only about 20 hours flying rather than 27.  ; )  The NYC clinic would be good too...I used to live in NYC and have a few good friends there whom I could mooch a place to stay with...so I'll check them out also.

Your very welcome.  I believe the exact name is the Scherr or Sherr Institute.  I have a friend that when all else failed she went to Dr.Scherr/Sherr and became viably pg. She did have to have IVIg several times throughout her pg, but she did indeed have a take home baby.  www.rialab.cm is where I finally figured out that my ANAs were just way too high for me to have a viable pg w/o the use of baby aspirins and heparin therapy.  You may also ask about using a heparin pump for your blood thinner, as did I.  It delivered a continuous drip 24/7.  A PIA, but it was well worth it!  My prayers go out to you!

Holly,

I don't know if this dr will be able to help with your situation but it maybe worth a shot to call them and see.  I called them and they said they can help people with re-occurent miscarriages.  There is a Dr. Silber in St. Louis, MO that has a show on the Disccovery Channel called the Baby Lab.  He has been able to help lots of couples.  His website is http://www.infertile.com.  I really hope you can find some answers!

Thank you Tracy....I'll check out his web site.
