I'm so so sorry Squig.

 

[confuzion]

I was so sure I was going to come back to good news from you squig. And now I can't stop crying about how messed up this world is. You deserved to have this go well and I just don't even know what to say. I'm frustrated and hurt for you. Always here for you if you need a chat. PM me if you need to love.

I am so incredibly sorry for what you are going through and what's ahead of you. None of it will be easy. But you will get through it because you're strong.

Well it wasn't good news at the scan; baby had died just after the last scan. Thanks for all your supportive comments nonetheless. I guess the red spotting was the miscarriage trying to start but the progesterone maybe held it off. I'm going in for tablets on Wednesday, but I think that perhaps stopping the progesterone may start things before then.

I'm so sorry to read this Squig This is not fair.

 

[Bug222]

oh im so sorry Squig xxx

 

[Pixiedust22]

I'm so so sorry to hear that. It's so unfair that it would happen to you again.

 

[GingerPanda]

I'm so sorry again, Squig. My heart aches for you.


As for me....
I FINALLY got my test results back!

I may have lupus anticoagulant syndrome, a blood clotting disorder. It would cause placental infarction (blood clot in the placenta), causing fetal demise.

My dPT measured slightly high at 1.23, where the normal levels are 0-1.20. Because it's only slightly high, I have to get retested in 12 weeks on August 26th.

It is treatable. If I test positive for it again, I just have to take baby aspirin and daily injections of heparin when I'm pregnant.

It makes total sense to me. Both my losses occurred around the time the placenta kicks in. Both my losses were MMC with a single instance of bleeding 1-3 days before ultrasound showed ceased fetal development.

Aww Squig, I'm so sorry.

GP, I'm glad you finally might have an answer! How early in to a pregnancy will you have to get tested to see what your numbers are to see if you need those medications?

 

[GingerPanda]

I don't know. My losses were at 8 and 6 weeks. My doc is on vacation, and the nurse couldn't tell me much.

 

[Bug222]

glad you have some answers GP!

 

[confuzion]

Now you have a reason to be more positive with your next pregnancy GP . Hopefully soon you will catch hatchling and hold him/her in your arms .

 

[jmandrews]

So glad you have answers GP! Hope this helps lead you to your forever rainbow.

 

[Nikki1979]

Glad you got some answers Ginger and also that there are treatment options available.

 

[Button#]

I'm glad you got some answers GP.

 

[Squig34]

Great news to have found a reason and get a treatment, GP! That's also a really effective treatment for that disorder, so you have a super high chance of a successful pregnancy next time, yay!

 

[GingerPanda]

Thanks, everyone!

Now I just have to worry about my insurance covering the heparin. They flat out sent me a letter telling me they wouldn't cover anything fertility-related, even if I would have a miscarriage without it. Not covering Clomid is one thing, that's only a $9 prescription. I have no idea how much the heparin injections are.

 

[Soanxious]

GP I hope you are able to get the injections

 

[Renaendel]

Heparin is used for a wide variety of things so maybe your doctor can code it so your insurance has to accept it. I hate that something is wrong, but I am so glad that they may have found out what it is.

 

[Pixiedust22]

It's good they found out what's wrong. Hope you can get the treatment.

 

[Squig34]

What Renae said, get the doc to code it for something different. I hope they will oblige and not try to stand in your way of getting your rainbow!

 

[Angelbaby_01]

I am glad they found the problem GP. I also agree on the different code. It's silly how health insurance refuse to pay for certain things. Like the progesterone is R1200 p/m which will be $110. Not everyone can pay that amount every month for 2 months in a row and I have friends ttc for years that need to use that almost every cycle in hope they get a bfp the meds my one dear friend use to ov (not clomid or femara, can't remember the name) is about $60 every month and add that with opks, supplements and hpt's.
