APS

I just wanted to post this in case it could help anyone. My aunt had soooo many miscarriages at one point in her life, and they had no idea why. It turned out that she had APS, Antiphosphal Lipid Syndrome (spelling?) I believe this is when the blood clots to easily. She had to give herself shots of heprin (?) I believe twice a day in her belly. She now has 4 children.

All you need to do is take a simple blood test to determine if you have this. It is not very known, so I figured I would post this at the chance of hopefully helping someone else.

Thanks Jacquie. I have been posting about this a lot on the infertility board. Dr. Jonathon Scher is the ob/gyn I am currently seeing because of immune issues.

He wrote the book Preventing Miscarriage, The Good News. I highly recommend anyone who has experienced pregnancy loss and didn't have it tied to chromosomal reasons....to read this book and get immunological testing done.

I just heard about this recently also. My dh best friends wife was diagnosed with it and thats exactly what she does.
