Just wondering if anyone has experienced this - is TTC like me after MCs or if they are/ have been pregnant.
Or has anyone had inconclusive/ mixed results and what di they do about it?
After two miscarriages last year, the last one at 8 weeks gestation in December I decided to get a few blood tests - expecting it to come back normal. I got my first set of blood results back yesterday and the results took me by surprise. I tested borderline for antiphospholipid syndrome. The first test had come back positive and a second test more sensitive test came back negative!
Had a repeat test but midwife says they will probably put me on clexane when I get pregnant anyway whatever the results. Going on baby aspirin straight away. Mixed feelings about this. It was a bit of a shock. I am glad I tested after only two MCs instead of the recommended three. I wish the test had been more conclusive and I don't relish the idea of injecting myself in my stomach everyday but I am glad we have something we can do something proactive to stop this happening again. After reading up I have seen that it is more associated with later MCs so not even sure if it is anything to do with my two MC's.
I also tested high for fibrinogen levels and midwife isn't sure what that means but I know its to do with clotting too so I guess clexane can't hurt for that either. Need to do a bit more research.
