can/should I get pregnant

[pottedplant]

I had bloodwork done by a ferility doctor and he sent me to a hematologist , cause he thought I had Lupus ,cause the blood work was suggesting that. (not bloodwork below)  Hematologist said it looks like I have APS and had me repeat bloodwork, I guess I pass clots into my placenta when pregnant. Does the bloodwork suggest anything that might keep me from maintaining a pregnancy?  

vit b12                                                      218                                          (200 - 1100)
folate                                                     >24.0                                          ( >5.4 normal)
cardiolipin AB (IGA)                                <10                                             (15 POSITIVE)
cardiolipin ab (IGG)                                    32  H                                        (15 -40 POSITIVE)
cariolpin AB (IGM)                                      <10                                         (<10) NEGATIVE
Homocysteine, CVD                                   28.7  H                                      ( <10.4)
B2 GLYCOPROTEIN (IGG,A,M)(IGG) (IGA)  54 H                                         (<20)
B2 GLYCOPROTEIN I AB                            <9                                            (<20)
METHYMALONIC ACID                                805 H                                       (87 -318)

Any help is very much appreciated! I look forward to your response!!

Doctor confirmed APS and said for me to have a chance in maintaining a pregnany I would need to be on blood thinners. He said he would reccomend that I take Lovenox before trying, while pregnant ( stopping before labor) and then again after. He said he believes that I probably only have clotting issues while pregnant but taking daily aspirin may help.

My High Risk OB appointment is Tuesday and he also said that he will have final say about how to proceed with pregnancy. The hematologist thought it was a low risk for me to try on my end but he also said that the OB would know better if I would be able to from the baby stand point.

I also am having a hard time getting in to see a rheumatologist, the hematologist didn't know anything about me having Lupus , he said I was sent to him because of the clotting . Which makes sense, so now I am off to a rheumatologist.

My appointment is today in about 5 hours and next week is with a high risk OB for a pre conception appointment.

I am having all these appointments and when I started I was just looking for WHY and HOW can we fix it. I feel like these doctors keep pawning me off to other doctors. I get very depressed through out the process.

i had a miscarriage, had my daughter, then ectopic, then miscarriage with d/c.  

please keep me posted and I will do the same!

my grandfather has factor 5 (blood clotting disorder) so thats why they are now questioning all the other coagulation stuff.

Best wishes!

I will share more of my story with you, I have had 4 miscarriages in the past 2 years all in the first trimester around 9 -12. 2 of them required D/C. I finally got sent to the fertility doctor cause its not abormal they told me til I had 3 misscarriages and when I was making my appointment I  got pregnant. But, eventually misscarried and it was by far the worst one I had ever experienced.

I went to the doctor and immediately he came up with a game plan for me, and I got a load of blood work done and it came back abnormal and he sent me to a hematologist who (of course) wanted more blood work and my results are what I post. My Appointment is not til middle of may but will share what was said ....  I do know that if /when I get pregnant again they will be giving me daily shots of something like heparin

GOOD LUCK to you!
