Experience with CRP clinic
I have seen a few posts about the CRP Clinic and I wanted to find out more about your experiences.
I have had my follow-up appointment to receive my test results and treatment plan. I'm feeling very conflicted about next steps as I really want to give ourselves the chance for our next FET to be a success but I'm also worried about taking a whole load of immunosuppressive medication. The protocol is intensive, expensive and the research behind it is sparse (for context I have a scientific background so I've read about it thoroughly). But now I know more about it, I do feel like I could do it.
I'm just finding the clinic odd to deal with. The consultant has been very dismissive of me when I have asked questions and has made claims like its safe and has no long term impact when I know he can't say that based on the data (he can only really say they don't know yet). They provided the costs yesterday after our appointment and have already chased me for payment this morning. They don't really seem to appreciate that this is an add-on and I don't have to go ahead with it. They're being a bit forceful in their communications.
I'd be interested in what others feel as I can only see great reviews from people for whom it worked and a few odd negative reviews.

Hi I know this is 3 weeks old, I’ve only just seen your post. I was with CRP last year and I too found it quite forceful. I’m also a bit weary of their online success rates now as it always seems to stay the same despite having seen a lot of people their treatments haven’t worked for. Me being one. I did 6 rounds of superovulation with them, was told most success is seen 4-6th month while on letrozole. Those months were my worst ones with the least response to meds 😧
I regret paying so much for the tests now looking back, but I guess I was just desperate and saw so many success stories. None of the 6 cycles worked for me, and at the end of it I was told to go back to ivf or continue to try naturally. No follow ups nothing. However, Dr edge was lovely. But I spent approx £1k on each monthly cycle on top of the expensive bloods & still no closer. Theres also a lot of conflicting info about whether their nk cell blood test is as accurate as uterine nk cells. So it’s all a bit confusing
With that being said, I didn’t go for ivf with them and maybe ivf is what tends to work for people with them.
The only good I’ve had out of it was that I was able to stock up on steroids and cyclogest via my gp after crp sent them my monthly treatment cycles and now I’m able to use those meds for my ivf round which I’m doing with a local clinic. I hope they are able to help you, good luck 🤞🏻✨
Hi Rubi, thank you for sharing your experiences. I was really conflicted about the immune protocol as you say the data aren't clear. I ended up going ahead so will be using the immune protocol for my next FET. I did set some boundaries with the clinic and told them to back off about chasing me for payment and they actually listened so that made me feel better about it. I have no idea if it's going to work but I'm willing to try. I guess its that desperation that you've also felt. I hope your current ivf cycle is successful and you have a better experience xx
good luck!!! I hope it works for you. Is it the addition of steroids and blood thinners with intralipids they’ve added on as part of your FET protocol? Did your nk cells come back high from the results? Xx
Thank you! Yes I had slightly elevated NK cells and high activation so will be following that protocol. Did you take these treatments? Xx
