is this a form of testing?

This form of testing looks for antibodies that might interfere with a woman's ability to get pregnant.

This test measures the amount of antibody that reacts with proteins of non-self blood cells. Low levels of Leukocyte Antibody Detection, or LAD for short, antibodies have a greater risk of loss. Women with history of miscarriages or implantation failures may have low levels of LAD, usually 30% below.

according to sharedjourney:

"Leukocyte antibodies are cells found in your body that attack leukocytes. Leukocytes are commonly referred to as white blood cells. Found in your blood, bone marrow, and lymph tissues, they are responsible for attacking foreign bacteria and other invaders that enter your body. During pregnancy, leukocytes can sometimes attack the cells of your fetus. In order to protect your baby and maintain your pregnancy, your body creates antibodies to these leukocytes. Every pregnant woman should test positive for a certain level of leukocyte antibodies."

is there any way?.. if you have low LAD?

According to the report, it says patient lacks protective blocking antibodies, this can be treated with IVIG(intravenous immunolgobulin)and LIT to increase the LAD figures especially for those who have recurring pregnancy loss.

your right SJ23. Low levels of leukocyte antibodies have been linked to infertility in women. In fact, women with below average levels of these cells are at greater risk for:

miscarriage
stillbirth
recurrent, spontaneous abortion

leukocyte antibodies can sometimes target fetal cells during pregnancy, thereby resulting in pregnancy loss
