Hi I'm new and have a question or 2 for you other ladies.
After my second miscarriage my OB/GYN diagnosed me with Anti-phsopholipid Syndrom, Anti-cardiolipin antibodies and Lupis Anticoagulant (blood clotting disorders). He asked that I get retested in a few months. I have been tested by 2 hemotologists and they both say I test negitive for the above problems. And I'm fine. My question is this: anyone else have the same thing? What should I do now? Are these problems pregnancy induced? What did your doctor say?

Thanks in advance.

Hi. I just tested positive for the 3 things you've listed above. My next pregnancy will be treated with baby aspirin and heparin (a blood thinner I'll have to inject myself with twice daily.)

Baby aspirin DOES cross the placenta, but it is such a small dosage that it doesn't hurt the baby. Heparin does not cross the placenta, so it doesn't hurt the baby the way Coumadin (another blood thinner that can be taken orally) does.

Hope this is helpful.


Me 32, hubby 32.
Seriously TTC since 3/04. 3 losses since (blighted ovum @ 10 wks, 2 chemical PGs @ 4.5 wks). Dx w/antiphospholipid antibody syndrome 4/05.

I tested positive for lupus anticoagulant antibodies once and negative for them twice. Apparently they can be transient in the body...you can be negative for it one month and positive the next. My RE recommended low-dose aspirin as well, at 81mg/day, just because of the one positive reading. Low-dose aspirin is generally not associated with any risks to your baby, although the higher dose pills can be dangerous.

After taking low-dose aspirin, I did give birth to a healthy daughter and have another hopefully healthy baby on the way. I am not sure if that is from the aspirin or the progesterone supplements, but I'm convinced one or the other treatment made a difference. I would definitely recommend checking with your doctor on taking it, even if it is for your own peace of mind. It's fairly common for doctors to prescribe heparin also, but mine did not since I only had the one positive reading.

Best wishes and I hope this helps.
