Blood work

I am having blood work done on Tuesday to make sure my body isn't killing babies. I know a lot of you have had autoimmune testing done. Does anyone care to share what yor panel was like? I don't want to miss any tests before we put back adopted embryos. Also around how long did it take your results to get back? I am sooooo ready to move on to something new! Hope this is the answer we've been praying for.

  1. I will definitely light a candle for your 3 too! Hm, I must have missed this post. I know I had A LOT of blood work done, here's some:
    Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin gene analysis, MTHFR, Thyroid Peroxidase, Thyroglobulin, Cardiolipin, homocysteine, B2 Glycoprotein, & polymorphism.
    Mine came back positive for the MTHFR and thyroid problems, which was interesting because I had just had my thyroid tested and it was fine, but apparently this was more in depth. I don't know. It took about 2 weeks for the majority of it, and 3.5 for the rest. I don't know who you use, but I went to Quest and they have a really great app where you can get the results emailed to you. So I knew a lot of it and was able to research certain things before my doctor even called to tell me they were in. Hope that helps some! Thinking of you.

    1. Thank you! I've had some of the blood clotting ones but not all of the ones you mentioned. I will certainly ask for those. I think I have hyperthyroidism. A few years ago my test came back saying I did, then they retested and it was normal again. My mom had it and had to have here's taken out years ago so it would make sense for me to have it too. Ugh! So frustrating isn't it?
