Antinuclear Antibodies

Receiving my $2,000 bill for the recurrent miscarriage testing prompted my call to the doctor this morning for results. She called me back almost immediately and told me I had elevated levels of antinuclear antibodies. I interpret that as – my body is attacking the pregnancy.

I cried for about 10 minutes afterwards not knowing whether to be happy that we found what might be wrong with me or upset that there was something wrong with me.

I have a consultation with her associate on Wednesday who typically deals with recurrent miscarriages. I’m not sure why I’m having the consultation but I know I’m very anxious about it.
