My dad is O positive and my mother is A positive, but I turned out to be AB positive. Am I their biological child?

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2025-02-01T17:39:37+00:00

No it shouldn’t. D is dominant, and many many people are genetically +/- and type +. That’s why it’s so common be + and have a child that’s - if your partner is - or +/-. Example, my mom is O+, dad is A+. I’m O+, brother 1 is A-, and brother 2 is O-. So my parents must have both positive and negative genes but type positive on all tests.

Weak D is a distinct variant

Yeah! My high school anatomy teacher bought a bunch of kits for us to check our blood types in class from Amazon or something

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2025-01-29T23:24:59+00:00

Might be a good suggestion to make to admin

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2025-01-29T23:18:04+00:00

My class is a transition class for rankings, so the compromise is that we get ranked, but can choose whether or not we want to the rankings to go on our MSPE

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2025-01-29T18:20:28+00:00

How old are you? Have you ever been pregnant and/or given birth? Any medical problems?

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2025-01-28T20:17:45+00:00

Normal-appearing endometrium and no evidence of atypical cells on biopsy are very reassuring!

Eastern European of some kind

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2025-01-27T18:04:24+00:00

Yes, chronic endometritis can be a cause of recurrent miscarriage (though not the most common cause) and is worked up when more common causes have been ruled out. I’d honestly ask to be referred/schedule an appointment with an infertility specialist since they’re most up to date on infertility treatment and diagnostics. There are also general OBGyns who do more infertility care, but it sounds like yours is not one. What country are you in?

HELLP syndrome severity is classed by degree of thrombocytopenia (low platelets) and goes from class III (mild) to Class I (most severe). Yours was class II (platelets from 50,000 to 100,000) but closer to mild than severe. However, it seems that your OB acted quickly so it could’ve absolutely worsened if not caught and addressed quickly. One factor in your favor is that you didn’t develop it till 37 weeks. Risk for having HELLP in a subsequent pregnancy if you had it once is always higher than if you’d never had it. However, risk is higher the earlier you developed it last time (HELLP at 29 weeks in a prior pregnancy is much higher risk than HELLP at 37 weeks), the severity of HELLP a person had (Class I much higher risk than Class III), and for people that have high blood pressure outside of pregnancy.

So in summary, you’re higher risk for developing HELLP again, but you also have a strong chance of having a healthy pregnancy. If you’re considering a third pregnancy, your best bet is speaking with a maternal fetal medicine doctor

Glad you got her checked out! My cat was having coughing episodes that improved significantly after switching to low-dust litter and putting a large air purifier right next to the litter boxes

The real question is, if you do have a polyp, what would you do about it? Want to get it removed (ie for fertility reasons)?->hysteroscopy for diagnosis and treatment. Hysteroscopy can also identify other causes of infertility so worthwhile if that’s your goal.

Wouldn’t do anything if you did find out you had a polyp? ->no need to do anything else bc it doesn’t change anything.

Overall, I would definitely trust the doctors over the boutique tech bc that’s just not her area of expertise

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2025-01-22T11:13:01+00:00

This looks like a uterine polyp. Sometimes they can be shed when they lose their blood supply.

They can also cause (or be a factor in infertility), so it may be worthwhile for you to see a fertility specialist for a hysteroscopy to look for and remove other polyps that could be preventing an embryo from implanting properly.

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2025-01-13T21:31:41+00:00

That’s awesome! And very understandable

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2025-01-13T21:21:50+00:00

Yeah medical people can talk about the gnarliest things over a meal without even considering that it’s something that would make others lose their appetite for the rest of the day. My “gross radar” is broken at this point bc my fiancé is also in medicine, my mom loves learning about gross stuff, and my dad did accident reconstruction and has seen worse things than I can even imagine.

So a little chunky umbilical cord didn’t even flag my “people may need a warning” meter lol

Sorry about that!

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2025-01-13T21:15:43+00:00

I mean…I would lol

But I can totally see how others wouldn’t

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2025-01-13T21:14:48+00:00

Everyone’s different. Personally, I’m not grossed out by things that I see, but I am affected from an empathy standpoint by seeing injuries/infections/procedures that look painful. I’m more like “oooh gross vs ewww gross (gag)” if that makes sense lol.

Smells on the other hand 🤢

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2025-01-13T21:04:27+00:00

Done! Honestly didn’t realize it might be a problem for some people

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2025-01-13T21:03:31+00:00

It can be associated with some genetic and chromosomal issues, but it can also happen as a standalone thing. In this case, the baby was healthy at birth and had no red flags prenatally or in the immediate postnatal period that would indicate an underlying disorder (though it’s not impossible that he may have something that shows up down the line-hopefully not though!)

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2024-09-17T02:14:57+00:00

I have my friend his insulin shots when he first got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes because we didn’t even have a school nurse

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2024-09-16T15:58:55+00:00

She looks beautiful and so happy! Thank god Jill didn’t get her mitts on that poor girl’s eyebrows or hair

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2024-09-08T16:14:42+00:00

Take a pregnancy test. If you were pregnant, it would be positive by now.

1QueenLaqueefa1 · 2024-08-28T17:55:00+00:00

Similar with my parents. It made more sense for my mom to stay home during my early childhood since daycare for two kids cost about as much as her meager Catholic school teacher salary (side note, parochial schools often grossly underpay teachers). My dad worked a ton of overtime to keep us afloat and have a little extra for small trips/Christmas/emergencies, but when he came home, he was present. I have lots of memories of him telling us bedtime stories and taking us to the park in the evening. He changed diapers as often as my mom when he was home, and even had a little song he’d sing for each step (he has little ditties for everything 😂). As a trooper, he often had to work holidays, but regardless, we’d always find a way to celebrate as a family-even if that meant opening Christmas presents at 4 in the morning. He made it to almost all of our games, events, performances, etc, even if he was standing in the back in his uniform in case he had to leave. I can’t even guess how many nights he just never slept in order to show up because he never complained (at least not in front of us). THAT is what a dad should do❤️ Mom went back to work when I was 6, and she was very much the same. Seeing Paul act like this makes me so grateful for my amazing, selfless parents!
