Infertility

Back from Appt....overwhelmed. (pg ment)

Oh, Girls. I don't even know how to process all of this. Sophia was fine. Nothing is showing up as being wrong other than being small for her gestational age. She was measuring on target at 18 weeks. They are thinking that my developing high blood pressure was too much for my veins to take and she couldn't get the nutrition needed.

The blood tests for me came back with a few of them being abnormal. Clotting might be an issue, but I was already on Lovenox for the first 12 weeks. Also, tests came back irregular that might mean a diagnosis for Lupus....I have to go back in 2 months for repeat tests. 

I am meeting with the MFM at that time to go over the repeat tests and hopefully have some more answers. For now,  my blood pressure it really and shouldn't be like this so far after everything. I have to go next week to see if the increase in meds helps. I am having bad headaches too, which is not a good sign.

So I guess I got some answers, and still more are unanswered. Thanks for all of your support, Girls.

  • I'm so sorry for your loss.  Was the irregular test an ANA (anti-nuclear antibody) test?  If so, you should know that this is just a screening test, and it has a relatively high false positive rate.  I had a positive ANA a few years ago and was stressed out until repeat testing showed that it was nothing.  You are going through a lot right now and you shouldn't have to worry about having Lupus on top of that.

  • Oh gosh hon, even answers aren't all that helpful. I hope that your tests come back clear for lupus. I don't want you to have to chalk this up to bad luck or whatever, but I also don't want you to be seriously ill. I hope your blood pressure regulates soon and they can help figure this out for you. Big (((HUGS)))

    I think this is what he said the test was. I know he said not to dwell too much on it, that he didn't think that would end up being the case....just one more thing on my plate, though.
