Can't stop thinking the worst about getting b/w results (RPL testing mntd)

Anyone waiting to hear back about RPL b/w results? I had mine drawn on Thur, all 12 vials. Ick.

I keep thinking, "what if they tell me something's wrong", "what if I can't have more kids", "what if my only option is fertility aids"

I'm scared. I do and don't want them to find something. I do, so we have answers leading to a healthy LO. I don't because that means I'm more broken than I thought.

    I'm waiting to hear back about tests determining if I have a clotting disorder.  They only ran that along with thyroid tests.  I honestly don't think I have a clotting disorder so I'm not that nervous about it.  I'm still contemplating going to an RE, but I have the same reservations as you.  I don't know yet if I'm really ready to hear that I'm broken :(

    After my second loss,my worst fear is that the RPL tests would come back normal (I really wanted an explanation--there is only so many times that you can go through the 1st trimester).  It is like you feel so crazy that you will try anything new (and there is that crazy feeling that it is easier for other women). 

    So when they put me on baby aspirin, I just felt like I was doing something more for the next pregnancy.  And it was my suggestion to go on the progesterone.  And my obgyn suggested the fish oil (Yuck!).  I have only had one bleeding episode at 8 weeks this pregnancy ( my second pregancy I had 4 bleeding episodes, and the baby stopped growing at 7 weeks).

    My RPL results didn't show anything.  I'm not sure if that was a relief or not.  At this point, after 4 losses, I really WANT something to be wrong.  I found out on Friday that I have a bicornate uterus which doesn't really explain my losses, but it is a piece of the puzzle.

    Anyway, I guess I'm saying that I understand - you don't want there to be anything wrong, but an explanation would be nice.

    ((hugs))  I hope things turn out for you, and I'm sorry for your most recent loss :(

    My OB ran b/w after my last loss, and it took 6 weeks for me to get the results.  My RE ran the rest of the b/w that OB failed to do, and it took another 6 weeks.  The RE was waiting for my f/u appt to give me the results.  The OB was just a douche. 

    During the first round, I was a complete wreck.  I just wanted answers.  As stupid as it sounds, I wanted them to find something.  I wanted to know why I keep having m/c.  It doesn't make any sense.  If they found something wrong, whatever it was, at least it would give me a reason.  Sometimes though, there are no reasons. 

    My b/w all came back normal.  That really is the best case scenario, but it still leaves me wondering why this is all happening.  It leaves me wondering what the outcome of my next pregnancy will be.  The worst part of no definable diagnosis is that my RE believes that I have a 50/50 shot with future pregnancies.  That pretty much sucks!  Those are not the odds that I would like to see.

    Good luck and I hope your results come back quicker than mine did.  The wait is almost worse than the possibilities.

    I was worried of the opposite...that the tests would come back "normal". When they came back that I had two clotting disorders, there was something that could be "fixed"!

     So for me, finding something "wrong" was what I was hoping for, so it could be made right.
