i am sorry you had to go through this....i am happy though that your doc may have found something and hopefully a visit to the RE will help you....
i wish you the best and hope you stay in touch
So funny you mentioned that. One of the things that my doc mentioned is the fact that one of the tests that showed a questionable result, would indicate that perhaps I have a disorder that relates to having connective tissue problem. He mentioned the name of the disorder, but I have never heard of it and quite frankly, I forgot what it's called. He tried to explain it in the lamest terms and came up with "it's in the family of lupus". If you know a little about lupus, you know that it is very difficult to diagnose it, because you have to kind of test positive to a number of things before they can conclusively say, yes, it is lupus. So, in two weeks, he'll repeat the infamous blood work. If it gives the same results, then I decidedly have to see an immunologist to get further, more comprehensive testing done in order to reach a more accurate diagnosis. My doc also found that although my test results are not always the same, a few times he's seen evidence that perhaps I will benefit from taking heparin during pregnancy, along with daily baby aspirin. All these things are new to me. No other doc had even suggested to do this. I'm not sure why, I've told them all that my body has been "attacking" my thyroid gland for years. That's an immune system problem. Anyhow, yes, like someone else said, we've learned a few things that may be very helpful in the future. For that alone, I'm grateful.
Thank you all for your love!

My prayers are with you and your DH.. Im going to see the RE this month and I pray that we both can get pregnant again very soon.. LOTS OF BABY DUST to you and your DH.. Keep us posted ... God Bless you both...Mary.
my deep sympathies and best wishes to you. i wish the doctors help you to get more answers, and i pray that you will get your baby wishes soon.
i am so awestruck by your strength and courage through this very difficult experience. (hugs)
bless you.
Sorry about the loss of your baby, it must have been very hard seeing him growing so slowly!
Next time, yes take the baby aspirin if you're not allergic to aspirin, this medication can sometimes make the difference between keeping or loosing the baby!
I too have asthma and thyroid problems, my lung doctor suspected lupus but the test was negative (as well as an older test in the past), it's really hard to pinpoint which immune problems one can have.
Good luck with everything!
I am so sorry to hear of your lost. I truly can relate to your story. I had five miscarriages myself last year, and my doctor keep telling me everything was normal. (WOW) He told me that if my husband and I continue to try we will conceive. I took it upon myself to see a specialist this year in Febraury, and after several tests we have discovered the problem that was causing the miscarriages. All my lost could have been prevented with a simple blood test and medicine. You are in my prayers and thoughts. Sometimes our trusted primary doctors just isn't enough!
