Elize -- I hold in my arms a 2 month old daughter, living proof that there IS hope! I too have antiphospholipid syndrome, but was fortunate enough to be diagnosed after only 2 miscarriages. With the help of aspirin and heparin, treatment for antiphospholipid syndrome that is successful around 80% of the time, I now am experiencing the joys of motherhood.

While many general ob-gyns can initiate the work up and treatment for antiphospholipid syndrome, I would strongly encourage you to see a reproductive endocrinologist who specializes in recurrent pregnancy loss; such a specialist is much more likely to be up on the latest treatments and is best equipped to investigate all possible causes for your miscarriages.

Best of luck to you.

Sorry, but personal e-mails will not be answered, due to time constraits and the desire to spend as much free time as possible with my husband and baby daughter
