Dear Mike,

Thank you so much for relating your thoughts and experience and for
reading through my emails so thoroughly. You have brought up many
things that need addressing. I need to make a chart or something
that will help me track all of the testing, treatments and related
questions.

Congratulations to you and your wife! I can't imagine the
anticipation of the next few weeks (but hope to some day!) and wish
you both the best.

Take care,
Niki

sent them to Dr. Beer. I bet he sees much more than she.

it is the preferred medicine. You should be on a higher dose than
the standard 5000 units 2x a day. If your dose is 7000 units 2x a
day, then you might be ok. But again, DB prefers Lovenox.

else (finch labs in chicago)....that non-responsive to ivig makes me
concerned.

Others on this board can tell you more about it (we have no

IUI with twins. Currently 35 weeks pregnant with b/g twins and
getting ready to run from Long Island to Mt. Sinai at any given
moment. Dr. Jon Scher is our high risk ob/gyn, Dr. Beer is our RI,
and Dr. Davis of Cornell Medical is our RE.
