Reproductive Immunology
Fertility & The Immune System
Some research has indicated that during pregnancy, a unique type of immunity occurs that stops your body from rejecting an embryo and helps the growth and development of the fetus.
If this special immunity fails, successful implantation may not happen and your body could reject the embryo. If implantation starts, the risk of miscarriage may increase.
Important Considerations
It is important to note that research in this area is still developing, and large randomised studies are not yet available. Because of this, some aspects of reproductive immunology remain controversial.
Beacon CARE Fertility is committed to reviewing the available evidence, formulating appropriate treatment strategies and monitoring results closely. We aim to give clear information on benefits, risks and limitations so you can make informed decisions.
