There are five categories
of immune problems that can cause pregnancy loss, IVF failures and
infertility. Category 1 is the least severe, while Category 5 is the
most severe. Without treatment, a woman with Category 1 problems can
experience recurrent pregnancy loss, which may activate other categories
of immune problems from Category 2, 3, 4 or 5. The following
documents, tables and figures explain the immune problems of categories
1 - 5, and are an introduction to the treatments involved and the
success rates of parenthood. They will be refered to during your phone
or person-to-person consultation with Dr. Beer. Every couple is screened
for all five categories of immune problems. Please have these documents
available to you during your consultation so that your specific problem
may be more clearly explained to you.
