This is my first ever post here... hope I'm in the right place.
My husband and I started trying to conceive at the start of this year. I have been pregnant twice so far, but both have been missed miscarriages. I think they stopped growing around 5-6 weeks, but I didn't find out till around 8-9 weeks both times. I have had two d&c's.
After the second loss my OB offered to do some tests, most of which came back normal. He did mention that I had a low positive for anticardiolipin antibodies, but said that this was very common and probably had nothing to do with my losses. He said that he would expect a further test in 6 weeks would be back to normal levels. However, I just called up for the results of this second test and they said it is still a "low positive". The OB still doesn't seem at all worried, just wants me to repeat the test in another 6 weeks.
Has anyone experienced this, and is it possibly a reason for my losses? Or is the doctor right, and it is no problem? He has told me to take 1/2 an aspirin per day "just in case" but nothing more than that.
I am not sure what to do... it seems strange that I could have two tests that come back as positive results and still be told that there is nothing wrong?
Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ali.
