Pathology Report is Back...

Had my doctor's appointment today. I don't know where to begin. The good thing is that my doctor wants to do a RPL (Repeat Pregnancy Loss) panel, which is what I wanted anyways. She said there is no use waiting for this to happen again, and put me through more heartache. It is best to get to the bottom of this since I had consecutive miscarriages. I have to not eat for 8-10 hours before taking the test. It is a simple blood tests that looks for many factors that can contribute to pregnancy loss. This made me feel much better when she suggested going ahead to do this. I am considering going Thursday morning for the test. The sooner, the better.

The bad thing...at least bad in my eyes, is the pathology report. My baby (it was a boy) was healthy. I had a baby boy. All the chromosomes were normal, and it was a healthy pregnancy. For some reason, my body decided it didn't want to be pregnant anymore and terminated the pregnancy. This is the reason for the tests. There is obviously something not right with my genetic makeup, blood, or body. I feel like it was my fault that my babies died. I haven't been able to stop crying. I don't know how many tests I will endure, but I am willing to do whatever it takes to have my baby.

  1. I'm so glad you're following my blog & I came by yours.

    Oh honey, it was NOT your fault that you lost your baby boy. I know it's hard not to blame yourself, but please don't.

    I won't try to blow sunshine your way because I know how bad it hurts, but understand that you are on the right path by having the RPL panel done. See what answers you can find and go from there.

    Please be patient with yourself. You've been through a lot in the past few months, and you'll need time to heal physically and emotionally.
