RLP- Late June 2022

SGF agrees to do a Recurrent Loss Panel (RLP) since a pattern had emerged. My body just can't seem to make it past 5 weeks. We also did genetic blood work to rule out anything else (Michael has 2 vials taken and I had 12! He said, "At least the mosquitos won't bite you now because you're empty!"). Up until this point, I have not been given an official diagnosis. While my prolactin level were very high in the fall, the 2-3 times SGF checked them during the past few months, they were in normal range so they didn't want to put hyperprolactinemia as the diagnosis. Basically, they said I had "ovulatory dysfunction" with no known cause.

The bloodwork came back and honestly brought up more questions than answers. First, prolactin was elevated again- Surprise! I feel like the doctor blew off the previous tests from the other office. Could my second loss have been avoided? There was another "off" level too for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). It was high, but not high enough to be clear answer. It is considered borderline right now and will need to be repeated in 12 weeks.

I'll meet with my doctor in 2 weeks and I am just so anxious about it. If he thinks we need to wait more, I'll be devastated. If there are no answers or changes available, I'll be angry. Change or no change, I'll be filled with fear and frustration. It is like all outcomes have negatives. This whole thing is full of negatives, simply unfair at every turn.
