Update on follow-up Dr. visit

Thank you ladies for all of your testing ideas to speak with my Dr. about yesterday.  I was pleasantly surprised that he took us right into his office and brought up testing before I even had to ask!  I was so happy as many of you said that many Dr's won't even do testing until you've had 3 M/C. 

My Dr. did a full blood panel work-up.  He was especially interested in my families history of Rheumatoid Arthritis.  I haven't gotten my results back yet, but I always knew I would be very likely to have it.  It runs in my family, as my Grandmother had it, most of my Aunts, and my Mom was diagnosed with it many years ago.  Have any of you had experience with this auto-immune disease?

    Glad your doctor is looking into things. Hopefully you'll get the results back quickly - I always hate waiting for results.

    I was diagnosed with RA at 14.  It was very well controlled with medication, which I had to stop taking so that we could TTC.  Unfortunately, after pregnancy, it tends to flare, which it most definitely did after my m/c.   I have been pretty sore lately.  I haven't gone back on meds because we are TTC again, but the good news is that it most often goes into remission during pregnancy. . . now just to get pg again!  Good luck with everything, and I hope you don't have to wait too long to get your results!
