ABO incompatability for Christine SmithFrom: JHC (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 04 Nov 1999 10:09:55 -0600
Christine, Thank you for responding to my question regarding ABO incompatability. You asked in your response if my egg donor had a type and Rh done prior to the in-vitro cycle. The answer is yes, but when the donor list was made available to me, it was not on there. When I inquired about blood type incompatabilty prior to the embryo transfer I was told that it should not be a problem. I am Rh positive and I assume that they figured I could not be desensitized to an antibody that I already had. I just read Bryce's post and your response to it about anti little C. When I was questioning my son's pediatrician about ABO incompatability he mentioned something regarding that the incompatability could have been ABO or someother antibody factor. He went on to say that in 20 years of practice he only had to transfuse 1 baby due to a severe incompatability. I assumed that may have been a missed Rh incompatability. I have been told by several sources that ABO incompatability is merely and inconvience, and with swift treatment and close following it usually works out o.k. Am I correct in assuming the incompatablility is on the part of the infant's system and not mine, and with an Rh incompatablity the incompatability is on the part of the mother? Hematology has never been my strong point. Thank you for your informative responses. Respectfully, JClarke
