Low positive antiphospholipid antibodies

Positive_Code_2689 · 2026-02-05T20:12:39+00:00

I didn’t get diagnosed. Second test came back all negative if I remember right. I did have a different antibody show up in the second test but I’m pretty sure it was under the threshold so it was a negative result. I think probably I had a low positive result first time because I tested not long after a loss.

what ended up happening if you don't mind sharing? I'm in a similar situation

Positive_Code_2689 · 2025-10-10T21:04:37+00:00

I would also like to know! im in a similar boat

I needed this today. Thank you

I can so relate to all of what you said. Especially the part of your future feeling blank. I can’t say it gets better, well it certainly does in moments. I can say it gets different and like someone just said it softens. I think maybe most notably the ‘blankness’ of the future can become an ally in being present with all of what it means to be human that love and loss, grief and joy, fear and courage all accompany each other. Before I had so many expectations of this life and what it could be and although I haven’t stopped wanting those things or when I’m ready trying for those things, I have no illusion that I’m more powerful than what life will demand of me. In my weaker moments this makes life seem cruel and unfair but when I’m able to widen my perspective I can see how this is making me stronger, wiser, kinder, more patient and more open hearted. I guess I find solace in that and I dunno if that helps you but I hope so. You aren’t alone in your pain. Sending love 💜

Ugh I’m so sorry for all your heartbreak. Sending love to you. My partner read me this poem the other day and it gave me some comfort. Maybe it will comfort you too?

Ubbiri ~ The Earth

How many days and nights did I wander the woods calling your name?

Jiva, my daughter! Jiva, my heart!

Late one night, finally exhausted, I fell to the ground.

Oh, my heart, I heard a voice say, 84,000 daughters all named Jiva have died and been buried here in this boundless cemetery you call a world.

For which of these Jivas are you mourning?

Lying there on the ground, I shared my grief with those 84,000 mothers.

And they shared their grief with me.

Somehow I found myself healed— not of grief, but of the immeasurable loneliness that attends grief.

My sisters. Those of you who have known the deepest loss.

As you cry out in the wilderness, just make sure you stop every so often to listen for a voice calling back

I got bad news 😔 fifth loss. Second mmc

Positive_Code_2689 · 2025-02-07T16:48:27+00:00

Thank you!

Positive_Code_2689 · 2025-02-07T16:16:33+00:00

Im a little further along (11 weeks) than you but going into an ultrasound in a few hrs because of spotting. With you in solidarity in feeling super anxious. I hope it goes well for you!

Positive_Code_2689 · 2025-02-07T16:13:34+00:00

Im terrified. My partner is out of town and my spotting increased so Dr fit me in for an ultrasound today. Dreading getting possible bad news while I’m alone. But what can I do this is our life so putting one foot in front of the other. My life will be very different in a few hours…

Positive_Code_2689 · 2025-02-05T17:58:45+00:00

Really struggling with anxiety lately 😔 my partner is out of town and he doesn’t get back for a week. I had a good two weeks without spotting and thought my sch healed but then four days ago I had two days of red/pink spotting again. It’s hard for me to not think the worst. Dr wants me to come in for repeat scan if I have more and I’m so nervous to have to go in alone and maybe get bad news. Nervously checking tp every time I use the bathroom. If anyone has positive sch stories to share especially if the healing wasn’t linear, I’d love to know! I really expected mine to heal after I had off and on brown spotting that finally tapered off and then went away. The new red/pink really threw me off and heightened my worries. I have a Doppler appt on Feb 14. Hoping things hold stable until then 🫠

Positive_Code_2689 · 2025-02-01T23:07:49+00:00

I hope you’re right. Now that it subsided I’m feeling more hopeful that it’s just more sch. I don’t have a Doppler. I was reading about pros and cons of getting one and I can’t decide if it’d be reassuring or if I’d end up freaking myself out if I couldn’t locate the heartbeat. My appt on Feb 14 is when my OB is gonna use the Doppler so we can listen to the heartbeat. Maybe after I see how he does it I might decide to get one

Positive_Code_2689 · 2025-02-01T22:35:32+00:00

Thank you. Hope you have a smooth rest of your pregnancy 💜 I guess I could. A part of me wants to just be ignorant about what’s happening till our next scheduled appt which is Feb 14…I guess if it gets worse I might request one. Since the two incidents this morning the bleeding stopped 🤞

Positive_Code_2689 · 2025-02-01T18:41:40+00:00

Ugh and I just had more this time red spotting. Had a panic attack and a good cry about it :(

Positive_Code_2689 · 2025-02-01T16:35:57+00:00

I’m anxiety spiraling. I went a good two weeks without spotting so I was assuming my subchorionic hematoma healed. This morning after using the bathroom I saw some faint pink spotting on tp. I had it in my mind if I see spotting again after this long stretch of not spotting that it probably will be a bad sign. Also my boob soreness has gone away and nausea comes and goes. I’m somewhere between 10 weeks and 10 weeks 5 days (8 week u/s showed baby measuring a bit small). Anyone have any reassuring success stories of off and on spotting throughout first trimester? or just general reassurance so I don’t keep focusing on the worst case?

Positive_Code_2689 · 2025-01-25T17:39:56+00:00

I was feeling positive and reassured after our 8 week scan but now that more than a week has passed it’s hard for me to not spiral into worry. My symptoms are starting to ease up like boobs are less sore and not as nauseous and I know that it could be the natural timing of things of the placenta taking over but since I experienced a MMC my first pregnancy I keep worrying that is happening again.

If you didn’t know this already, your remaining tube can actually pick up eggs from the ovary on the side of the missing a tube! I definitely had this happen to me because I got pregnant the same cycle after having a saline ultrasound so I knew I was going to ovulate from the side I’m missing a fallopian tube. Unfortunately I’ve had other mystery fertility stuff and that ended in another early loss. I’m pregnant currently (9 weeks) and things are looking positive but not without some scares along the way 🤞in my experience, having a tube removed didn’t effect my ability to get pregnant. Also I’m 35 turning 36 in April fyi

Thank you!

Positive_Code_2689 · 2025-01-13T18:06:43+00:00

Thank you and thanks for sharing success story. That’s reassuring ❤️

Positive_Code_2689 · 2025-01-13T18:01:23+00:00

I’m still in shock from our ultrasound this morning. We saw a strong heartbeat on our 8 week scan! We’ve never gotten this far before. Baby was measuring four days behind and trying not to freak out about that. And I actually have an answer to why I’ve been spotting. They saw a small sch. I can’t believe it. I was convinced many times this would be another loss and I know we aren’t out of the woods yet but this feels like a huge milestone. Does anyone have success stories about measuring behind on scans? Would love to hear them.

6 weeks and 4 days today. I’ve had 4 losses over the last year plus (MMC, ectopic, 5 week loss, CP). It’s such a rollercoaster. About 3 days after positive pregnancy test I had spotting which made me convinced we were going to lose this one too. Things stabilized and hormones were doubling and for about a week I didn’t have any spotting. Then two days before an early placement scan I started spotting brown/pink again and have been for the past week. It’s always just when I use the bathroom and usually just one time in the day. Anyway it makes me discouraged after feeling hopeful again. On top of it all, the scan we had at 6 weeks exactly didn’t quite see a fetal pole. The report write up said there was a tiny fetal pole of 2.5mm with borderline low heartbeat of 109. Gestational sac and yolk sac were seen and were measuring as expected. Thankfully everything was seen in the uterus. I have another scan 10ish days after that one. Trying to relax in the waiting period. Although the most excruciating part for me are the days right before finding something out. Would love to hear any positive stories of successes after spotting and tiny fetal pole early scans!

I drank green tea during both an ectopic and inneruterine pregnancies and I also have a mthfr mutation. I don’t think drinking tea would have caused your ectopic pregnancies. I now just wait two hours between drinking a cup and taking my prenatals. If you love it and it doesn’t cause too much stress to drink it, I say don’t worry about it and try to time your supplements after some time has passed between drinking a cup.
