A few posts back I mentioned I had two New Years resolutions.
The first sorting out my infertility problem after the D&C in April 2015.
The second was to look after my health and see a specialist regarding all my symptoms compiled.
I have for a long time thought something was up with my immune system, but before actively trying to get pregnant never bothered to look into it further. Now with having a son who I want to see grow up and be in his life for as long as I can, it's important to me that I make sure I'm around.
So I googled the best rheumatologists in the Wellington region, emailed both private hospitals that came back with good references and booked myself in with the one who didn't need a GP referral. Self referral is the best thing since sliced bread. Even though that douche GP in December 2015 said he'd refer me if I wrote the referral myself... what's the point if I can just skip out the middle man!
I booked in, sent through all my latest blood test results and a list of body complaints. I saw Dr Andrew Harrison, very professional and lovely Dr. He has a long waiting list, always a good sign. He went over my history, my results and symptoms and evaluated he could draw no conclusion without further testing. He suspects APS/Hughes (I know I already suspect and have blood results for that, but I'd really like a specialist to say one way or the other before I commit myself to that diagnosis) and/or Lupus.
Interesting.
I had more blood tests to check my liver, kidney and other blot clotting/inflammation tests that I haven't previously had done. Still waiting on those results. My follow up appointment is mid-May.
Update on Pregnancy Scans
My second scan came back with a fetal pole measuring 11mm, 7w. Heart still beating.
I should of been 7w4d, so measuring 4 days behind at that point.
Going by that growth I am 8 weeks today (instead of 8w4d).
The next 10 days will be crucial. My babies normally pass away between growth showing of 8w4d and 9w3d.
Currently CD61 / 46DPO
