I found out 2 weeks ago, after some blood work from me, that I have 2 different disorders. One is called Beta 2 Glycoprotein Antibody and Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). I'm still unsure about what either one of those are. The Beta 2 Glycoprotein was redrawn this Friday while I'm not pregnant to compare to the previous one. The MTHFR, my doctor didn't seemed concerned about it. It was suggested to me to start taking a baby aspirin by the physician who did my D&E, but my regular OB didn't really see the need, but she also said it wouldn't hurt. I could be on a blood thinner injection with future pregnancies. I have so many more questions that didn't get answered or I forgot to ask. I will be do more research and writing down more questions for my next visit.
We found out this Friday that our baby girl had Down Syndrome. Our poor baby had many things against her. Knowing this DOES NOT make it better that we lost our baby. We still lost OUR child...we loved her no matter what.
My doctor is also in the works to schedule me a MRI of my uterus and fibroids to see if surgical intervention is needed.
We are still waiting for many answers. I took off of work for 2 more weeks for emotional recovering. I work with newborns and not ready for that yet. Some people don't know that we lost our baby. Yesterday at the U of H football game, a couple (the wife was pregnant) ask Matt if we knew if we are having a boy or a girl. Matt had to tell them we lost our baby...I had to walk away.
I ordered a frame to put our baby's profile from the ultrasound...it's the only picture I have of her. I will post a picture of it when I get it.
