APA - antiphospholipid antibodies?

You are not having trouble getting pregnant, nor passing the conceptus through the tubes to the uterus, so I don't see what possible use an HSG would be. If you were having recurrent ectopics, well, maybe, but that is not an issue for you. I am not sure that IVF offers you any benefits either. Again, conception does not seem to be an issue. You are getting pregnancies to the uterus. Holding them there is the trouble. Perhaps it is a progesterone issue, as much as it pains me to raise an issue I am not sure I believe in.
