Possums,
I remember our first OB appointment after our BFP and he outlined everything that could go wrong with the preg because of the APLS - and it scared me. But then I also remembered the good stories that I have read here and in other places and realised that it did not have to be what happened and that a healthy outcome was a very strong possibility. Yep there will be some hiccups along the way, but you will get your little baby and it will be ok. Glad that you found the link to the others on BB with APLS! I totally understand your feelings of 'why me' - yep it is good to know what is going wrong but boy it still sucks and makes you feel sad!
Pls PM whenever you need to...also ask your Dr about heparin injections vs clexane - they both do the same thing but have slightly different side effects...some drs like one over the other. I've stayed on heparin because it is 1. reversable (if you are in an accident or alike and are bleeding they can give you another medication to reverse short term the blood thining effects of the drug) 2.the injections dont hurt as much (but you have two a day instead of one with clexane)...I know that there are advantages with clexane as well, so just make sure you talk about it with your dr and are comfortable with your choice. Also - get the script in early - before you need the drug...it can be hard to get and chemist need to do a special order, so allow 1 week...also get the biggest sharps container you can find...cause you will fill it...no good are the little IVF ones![]()
I wish that you did not have APLS but now that you have been diagnosed, I wish that it leads you to your little one.
FG
