We have answers...

Dr. Kaufmann called me yesterday and asked that I come in for a consult to discuss my blood test results. Apparently, my Factor 5 test came back negative; however, my Antiphospholipid Antibodies test came back positive...thus my miscarriage. I feel a little relieved to finally have an actual medical reason for the death of my child; however, I'm pretty nervous about my appointment on Monday. I just don't know what to expect. The unknown worries me. I've spent all day reseraching and speaking with people who are familiar with, or work with, or even know others who have this condition during pregnancy. It's helped some but I'm still not going to fully understand until I ask questions and Dr. Kaufmann explains it to me. I do know that as part of the treatment plan I would need to do daily injections of a medicine called Lovenox along with baby aspirin to thin my blood and prevent clots. I was nervous about that medicine not being covered by my insurance policy but I looked it up and luckily it is!!! What a relief that is to me. I will keep you all updated after my Monday afternoon appointment. Prayers are always accepted and GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
