So I decided to call my OBGYN today to update them on what has happened since I visited her office. Well I actually got to talk to her directly on the phone! I was so glad. She told me she was going to call me this week anyways. I guess after I saw her and she referred me back to my hematologist I had additional blood work from her done. Well I thought it was just a retesting of my ANA panel to see if it came up positive. Well it wasn't it was further screening for lupus. She told me they all came back negative! So I am not sure where this leaves me know. I will call the hematologist tomorrow and see what she has to say. I may still have an autoimmune disorder but it sounds like I may not have lupus? I don't know it is all so confusing. But I did feel a bit better when my OB said that she was comfortable treating me if I got pregnant again and that she would consult with the High risk obgyn if needed. So I am not sure what this all means but I hoping that it means I don't have lupus.
Oy! I have a brain cramp just reading through what I just wrote so if you can't understand it just know that I think I got some good news today!!

I also think its good news! You know you have the MTHFR, which isn't too serious as long as you take the vitamins so hopefully that was all you need to give Naoh a brother or sister! I'd be sure though that you have had the FULL blood work-up done. There are something like 21 blood clotting disprders and a lot of dr's will just do the 7 of them for screening. Also ask if you have had your anti-thrombin checked. If its too low, it can cause miscarriages. Hang in there, I know its frustarting when trying to get answers! Love and hugs!

Sounds like you MIGHT have the first stages of UCTD (Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease) but as you don't have the regular symptoms it might be nothing. And even if it is the former, it's just a heads-up to keep track of all health issues in the future so that if you ever do develop something you can get it treated before it's a big problem.

The doctor's news sounds very positive. I am praying for you, sweetie. Hang in there, think positively, and of course keep us updated as you find out more! Did you talk to the hematologist yet?

I actually just called her office today to find out if all of her lab work that she ordered came back and it did. So i scheduled an appointment to talk with her about these results on Thursday and to see what she thinks about all of this. Thanks for the support!!
