Girls that have done RPL panel......

*punkinpie*

What all did they check?  Was it just a lot of bloodwork? 

This is our next step.  We already have insurance approval, so yay for that!

The nurse said once levels get back down then we'll start it but I didn't know if it's a long process or what not.

Any input? 

Thank you!

the RPL work that I had done was about 1 million vials of blood!  OK ~ maybe 15.... but alot.

That's all I've had so far.

Lots and lots of blood..    It showed that I have homozygous MTHFR.  I had to wait about two weeks for my results..

What do they do for homozygous MTHFR?

Do they take all the blood at once?  Did you get sick?

Sorry for all the questions.  I don't do well with blood draws and really not looking forward to that part, but am ready to find out why my stupid body won't hold a pregnancy.

lots and lots of blood work. I think I had to have blood drawn on 3 occasions (I did Clomid challenge at same time) - each draw was 10-15 vials. They check everything from levels to chromosomal abnormalities.

Same as PP--lots of vials. About 12 I think.

I think this is everything the RPL checks for (it was what my daughter's specialists suggested my doc test me for). Also, I don't know why your doc wants to wait till your levels are down...I've had the RPL twice, once while NOT PG and once the day after I found out our baby hadn't made it (before D&C). Personally, I'd prefer to do it while PG since some of those things can be brought on by PG and not show when you're not PG. Make sense? Sorry, I ramble.
