Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have had three recurrent miscarriages. I had some tests done. I am not really sure what it reveals. Could you please explain why this is happening based on my results? I was on Progesterone during my third pregnancy. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The presence of ANA (antinuclear antibody) positivity (attachment removed to protect patient identity) indicates that you have thrombophilia (a condition where blood clots easily), and this could be acquired or inherited. Hence, you would have to get a complete thrombophilia screening done, like ACLA (anticardiolipin antibody), APLA (Antiphospholipid antibodies), LAC (Lupus anticoagulant ) protein C, and S deficiency, antithrombin 3 deficiency, factor 5 Leiden mutation, and serum homocysteine levels. Pregnancy is possible. But, once the heart rate is evident, you would have to be on LMWH (low molecular weight Heparin) or Enoxaparin injections daily till your delivery, to sustain and maintain pregnancy.

I hope this information helps provide some insight into your symptoms.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
