Blood tests, "phosylipi" something or other, what is it called?

[sunburntats]

Just had some bloods taken and that was one of the tests, but what is it called??, i want to google

Antiphosphilipid Syndrome? It's a blood clotting disorder.

I recognise your name from the mc threads is that why the bloods where taken?

here

YES!
had them taken the other day, Doc wants to test me again although they said that the last tests were ok.Unlikely to be abnormal.

Just want to read about it before i get the results.

Ok if I remember rightly they do two tests anyway about 6 weeks apart!

Did he also test for Factor V Leiden? It is similar i tested neg for anti phos but positive for factor V Leiden and it is so much more common!

thanks julez.
hmmm its looking very unlikely tbh.
Although with ds i had pre eclampsia, he had growth retardation and premature birth.

Just clutching at straws, desperate for answers i spose

oooh dont know, the blood card was almost impossible to read, will look up my results next week.

Julez, what was the treatment for the factor V Leiden?

hmm with DS1 I too had pre eclampsia, IUGR and he was born 10 weeks early! Well mine progressed to eclampsia was a horrific time.

DS2 however was born at 38 weeks by elective section. When I fell pregnant they put me on 75mg of aspirin daily and I also had to inject 5000iu of Fragmin (form of heparin)

Have done it for the last two preg's as well which ended in mc so I am awaiting further tests now
