It took about two weeks to get our results back from the doctor after my blood panel. We found that I tested "low elevated" for both the Anti-Caridolipin IgG and the MTHFR gene mutation. They started me on baby aspirin right away and we referred to a hematologist for further testing. Yesterday was that day.. first we met.. chatted.. he told me that he's not concerned at all about MTHFR however, he is concerned about the IgG. For any future pregnancies, we will be placed on Lovenox as soon as we see that pink line. 10 vials of blood later.. he is running his own panel but again.. it will take about 2 weeks to get the results back. In the mean time, we are stuck. Because of my career, we have very specific windows throughout the year where becoming pregnant is viable. My job is feast or famine. The busy seasons get me through the slow seasons financially so delivering a child during the wrong months could cause financial hardship for my little business.
The scariest part of it all is the unknown. When you're in the appointment with the doctor.. it's so intimidating and overwhelming.. you forget to ask the questions. Later, you try to research it but finding the answers is so difficult and heaven forbid you happen across the wrong link and suddenly become concerned you have some sort of crazy rare disease.. it's a fine line.
