Blood Tests

David and I recently had blood drawn for tests for Dr. Gentry. He is checking antibodies in our blood to see if there is a reaction that may cause my blood to clot, and therefore, cause problems with the blood flow to the embryo.

Though normally this would not be the case, I am hopeful that the test is positive. At least then we would have something to "blame" for Claire and Gracie's death and the loss of the last embryo. Also, it is easily managed. I would take Heparin and aspirin through the next pregnancy to stop the clotting.

On the other hand, as much as I want to something to blame, I am having a hard time with the idea that a simple shot and aspirin could have saved our girls. I guess it is one of those situations when the answer won't be satisfying either way.

We won't have the test results for a couple of weeks, so again we are playing the waiting game.
