Dr. Kaufmann called today to let me know my genetic testing results were in and everything looked perfect. We still don't have a cause for our miscarriage. I know I should be happy but I just wish there was an answer or something that we could fix. I hate not knowing and thinking that it could happen again. Though, nothing has indicated that it would happen again...nothing has indicated that it wouldn't either. Dr. Kaufmann did ask me to go ahead and have two blood tests done (Factor 5 & Antiphospholipid Antibodies). Both of these tests will "rule out" blood clotting disorders. These tests are generally not given to patients until after reoccurring miscarriages have happened. This is our first pregnancy ever and of course our first miscarriage. Dr. Kaufmann is just being extra careful and thorough which I appreciate. A few things just aren't adding up about our miscarriage so I am totally fine with doing these simple blood labs.
1- Everything was GREAT...no, better than great, FABULOUS with my pregnancy tests leading into the 8 week appointment
2. Nothing indicated a miscarriage
3. No fetal sack was present due to my uterus being full of blood at the 8 week appointment
4. My uterus was larger than what an 8 week uterus should be during my D&C
5. At 6 weeks 1 day we saw the flicker of the heartbeat which drastically dropped our chances of miscarriage
6. When my sister miscarried (missed miscarriage too) they still saw a fetal sack but no heart beat was detected
7. I had many issues after my D&C such as spiking fever of 102*F
8. I tested positive for an infection and was prescribed a Z Pack
9. My liver enzymes were elevated after my miscarriage/D&C
10. Every test done since then has come back PERFECT....doesn't add up!!!
I just don't understand...no one does...this is soooooo hard....
