Test Results

On May 28th I went in for blood tests. They tested for clotting disorders and my thyroid. I called the office today to see about the results, and I was only able to talk to the nurse for another Dr. in the clinic. She told me that everything she could see came back as negative. I will probably call the office back and talk to my Dr's nurse on Monday when she is back in the office. I just want to make sure that they have received all the test results back that they tested for. If they have gotten all the results back, then we will be good to go. If I end up miscarrying again we will do a karyotype on the fetal tissue and see if there is anything that can tell us and go from there.

I'm not real sure how I feel about these results. I was kind of hoping for something I would be able to "fix" for next time. However, it is nice to know that these things are not a concern for next time. When I went in for the testing my Dr did list off several other tests that they could do, but she also explained why she didn't think those things were my issue. We did tests that were more specific to my situation. I am happy with what we did, and the plan that we have. Here's to hoping that my next pregnancy ends with a baby I get to take home. :)

I do feel a lot better about trying again now. I'm not sure I would have been able to handle it if I was told to wait until after a third miscarriage before they would start the testing process.

I've been having a pretty good start to my summer. I've decided to exercise by swimming. My parents have a good sized pool that work well for that. It's been a bit cold so far. It's been between 66-68 degrees. That's pretty cold when you first get in. After a few minutes it gets better and I don't feel cold anymore. It's been going a lot better than jogging was. My joints don't really agree with me jogging. They protest by causing me pain when I try. So this seems to be a good alternative. I get a good workout without the pain. That's really all that is going on for now.
