Pregnancy Info HOME

I am not pregnant yet,but I am planning on trying again next month. That is why I have been looking for someone on this forum that has a similar situation. I wanted to see how things went for them,with their pregnancies.It seems that everyone with ana is advised to take baby aspirin(like we all have some kind of clotting issues)And,unfortunately,we all have suffered a miscariages.Thankfully,some of the other women I have talked to(with the help of baby aspirin or heparin)have had successful second or third pregnancies.
I went to a rheumatologist and a hematologist,they both tested me for everything and anything....sjogrens lupus etc.etc.All they found was a positive ana and a mildly postitive anticardiolipinIGM antibody.The anticardiolipn is one of the antiphospholipid antibodies.Ibelieve there are 3 types of antiphlpd. antbds....anticardiolipinIGG and IGM and the lupus anticoagulant.If you have all three positive then they diagbose you with antipsospholipid syndrome.They didn't diagnose me with that since I only had one of them mildly positive.I have been doing my research,as you can tell.You have to become a doctor yourself in order to understand what the heck the drs. are talking about.Anyway, my ob told me to take baby asp. with my next preg.,but the rheumi told me that she doesn't think I need to.I tried to take it(bab asp.)but I broke out in hives all over my face.So I have to wait until next week to talk to my ob about that(she's on vaca.)GREAT TIMING!!I want to know NOW!!just kidding....Do you maybe know if heparin has aspirin in it???
I wonder...I want to take something just in case,I really don't want to go through another miscarriage if I don't have to.Are you trying again any time soon???
