Hope I am just the right person to ask as I did the exact same thing! I'll summarise. St marys said don't try to conceive. I said to myself no way as when I thought about it I was going to be treated anyway and try steroids, aspirin and progesterone so didn't see the point in waiting. St marys dont treat with steroids but that's another story. Factor v is a genetic screen and so pregnancy will definitely not affect it as is mthfr. I had to call st marys and tell them I was pregnant and only had the blood taken a week earlier! They had my teg result and it was negative but I was on aspirin then anyway so perhaps the aspirin helped me! On the scan they had there they saw fluid in my uterus which the midwife then said a week later on the phone that this would be the pregnancy sac. I never told them I was on all this medication when went for the tests. 
as the girls on this thread will testify! In a nutshell, the way I see it at st marys is that the only line of treatment is aspirin on it's own or aspirin and heparin unless there's something structurally wrong with the uterus or you have pcos and need hormone treatment. So the only thing I would be concerned about if I was you would be the antiphospholipid syndrome test and the lupus anticoagulant. To be honest I am not sure whether these tests are affected when pregnant but I'd doubt it, don't take my word for that though. The reason why I would be worried about these is that you must have treatment, also your teg test, if that comes back positive you need aspirin. If these are all clear st marys will not treat you with anything and this is probably the right thing to do. Best thing is to ring the midwife there and tell her you're pregnant. They will rush the results and advise you. Do you have the number? It should be on the back of an appointment card they gave you or I can pm it to you. X x oh I should add that I had a basic knowledge of what I was clear for test wise before st marys as we paid a grand privately to rush the tests through after my second miscarriage as as you know they won't do anything till three. I was clear for the tests mentioned above so I was confident about not having heparin. I had the aps test done twice to be sure and st marys lik to do it twice but I'm sur you can get a good idea from one test. I would say you need to act fast to push for any preliminary results back from the clinic. Hope that's helpful

i had some spotting on Friday which I just put down to Thursday's 
cos it was a bit vigorous 
, but my cbfm is still giving me highs. Has this happened to anyone? Half of me thinks I should just assume yesterday was cd1 again, but then the other half thinks that the cbfm would be showing low now if I wasn't mid-cycle? And although I'm not temping, I'm still putting other info into ff and it hasn't started a new cycle for me. This has put me on such a downer, especially since my first antenatal app was booked for Thursday but instead I'll be at work 
any insight for me?
