Dear Dr Braverman,


Happy new year!


As you may remember from my previous post about humira, I have high cytokines (TNFa) and killer cells. I am being treated by two clinics - one to do ICSI and the other for the immune issues. The one that is doing the ICSI (which doesn't believe that immune issues affect fertility) has suggested that I have an endometrial scratch prior to the cycle. Is this a good idea or will it set my cytokines and killer cells off in the wrong, ie, upward direction?


Also, I am currently dealing with recurring thrush (as of a few months), which I have tried and failed to treat with various Canesten products and am now hoping that strong probiotics will help. Although I know this is not a healthy state to be in, does this affect fertility?


Thanks for your help.
