We went over to my sister and brother in-laws for dinner tonight. My mother in-law is visiting as well. She sat right next to me the entire meal, holding the baby that was just born 7 days ago.
My first pregnancy had the exact same due date as him....he was absolutely perfect.
All of my blood work came back completely normal:
Serum HCG - negativoooooooo
TSH(Thyroid) - my level: 1.465 - normal range is 0.320-5.500 uIU/mL
Glucose - my level: 86 - normal range 60-99 mg/dL
APTT(clotting)- 25.2 seconds - normal range 21.5-33.0 second(s)
Lupus-Anticoagulant Panel - not sure score yet but Kaiser said normal
CARDIOLIPIN IGG, EIA (antibody) my level: 5.7 - normal range 0.0-23.0 GPL
CARDIOLIPIN IGM, EIA (antibody) my level: 4.1 - normal range 0.0-11.0 MPL
I am beginning to fear that maybe I will meet with the RE and he will find nothing wrong and everything will test just fine. Not having any explanation could possibly be the most frightening thing about this process.

It's a bitter sweet diagnosis. I am glad for you that all the tests came back good and in your favor.
Fertilize me is right, it's so bittersweet to get the "nothings technically wrong" news. Hoping you get some good info from the RE who might be able to read more into the tests.
I hope you are able to get some good info from the RE other than your tests are normal. Hope the dinner wasn't too bad.
Hmmm very interesting. I am finding more and more that there is just no rhyme or reason to this baby thing. How about your progesterone? Did they test that yet? I think you have to test for that on day 21 or 22 of your cycle. I know you said your doctor doesn't believe in that stuff. But I'm wondering would they even just test you on that? Or do all of these tests mean that your progesterone should be normal? I'm just thinking out loud of course I have no real medical knowledge.
I hear ya. It is so frustrating to have no clues as to what is wrong. If we could find the problem, might be easier to find a solution to all of this, right?
Ooh, that must have been tough, sitting next to the baby. Lots of sympathy here...
