Reproductive Testing and Immunology

I have been TTC for 2.5 years and have just sufferd our second m/c from our second IVF. I was a bit insensed when I was ushered into the phlebotomist's chair to have my blood type and RH factor test when my first ultrasound for my second IVF showed that again, the fetus had disappeared. Fortunately I knew better than my clinic and had requested that my OB have my RH tested so i could go into the first IVF knowing that would not be an issue.

I had originally wanted to do extensive testing before diving into IVF, as a sort of insurance that I wasn't throwing money out the window. I had at least 4 chemical pregnancies and feared there was something wrong. Unfortunately the places i called for testing would not accept me because I had no confirmed losses. The irony is that I had to do IVF to prove to them there is a problem (of course my clinic won't do any testing, either!)

So I am wondering what sort of tests you may have had and how the results have changed your outcome...

Thanks for any stories... I really apprecaite your input.
