So sorry for your loss. I’m located in the DC suburbs. I’m definitely interested in finding out what your docs suggested and what your protocol is this time around.

36/37 year old. IVF pregnancy (took 5 rounds of egg retrieval to get 3 PGT normal embryos, but just one transfer). Flu, Covid, and Sinus infection in 2nd trimester.
Baby was small at 20 week anatomy scan but my concerns were brushed off by MFM.
High BP at 24 week OB appt, so sent to hospital for “monitoring.” Scan done at the hospital showed absent end-diastolic flow in the umbilical cord, so I was admitted until delivery at 27w6d (fought high blood pressure the entire time-several rounds of magnesium, steroids for baby-and I was in and was kept longer after delivery because BP kept getting out of control).
Baby was born at 625 grams, so very SGA even for her premature birth.
All of this leads me to think I should get tested for APS, but what if doctors don’t think so because I technically didn’t have repeat miscarriages (because it is not for me to conceive naturally due to missing and blocked fallopian tubes)? Do I keep asking? Find another MFM (even though he’s the only practice connected to my delivery hospital of choice)?
Is it even safe for me to carry another pregnancy?
Thanks for this book!
