I am Rh- and DH is Rh+. I have one daughter and recieved Rhogam at all the appropriate times during pregnancy and after delivery. My screen after the pregnancy was negative. I had a natural miscarriage at ~8 weeks (blighted ovum, no yolk sac ever seen) toward the end of July and received Rhogam a few days after bleeding started. I am pregnant with LO #2 now and had a antibody screen at 8 weeks (positive, they presumed from the Rhogam), but I just had another for them to check and make sure it cleared, and I saw on my eChart that it's still positive! I am normally not a worrier but know this could be a big deal. I would guess that this last test was ~16-17 weeks after the Rhogam. Can it last that long? And if not, how on earth did I get sensitized? I will of course call to speak to my MW, but she's not in today...
