compound gene mutation - good news sorta

A nurse called from my dr's office and said my regular nurse is waiting for a call from the pertinlogist (spelling?) and to see what the next course of action and what I need to do. At least I am getting a ob that deals in high risk.

Thats about it. Hopefully I will hear some news today. There is starting to be some light after 2 miscarriages in a row!

My nurse just called and said just for now to start baby aspirin. I hope that the thing as childrens aspirin because thats all I can in the store.

Also, she said once I GET pregnant to start lovenox ( a blood thinner) and give my sellf a shot ever day until 14 weeks along.. so good news and not so good news.

They don't know for certain if that is what is causing my repeated miscarriages but they said it could be.

Tracy, yes, children's aspirin, or low does (81 mg) is baby aspirin.

I've also had two miscarriages and am scared to try again.  My doctor said she didn't think I had any of those disorders, but she said I could take the baby aspirin.

Did you ask the doctor to take those tests?  Or did she decide on her own?    My doctor said, "If there is no clotting history in your family, then you're fine."  But I'm not so sure I believe it.  Were you surprised you had this gene mutation?
