Protein S?

Some of my tests have come back from the RPL panel. Most are normal, but my doc mentioned something about a protein s deficiency. Protein S helps with the thinning of the blood to prevent blood clots from forming. It is a inherited gene, that if goes untreated during pregnancy, can lead to miscarriages. Doctor S wants to wait until ALL of the tests come back so that she can make a proper diagnosis, but this is what the issue is leaning towards with my test results. She also wants me to see my hematologist about the deficiency since I have sickle cell anemia as well. Hopefully this can answer a few questions as to why I am miscarrying with each pregnancy. Stay tuned...
