This Is My Story
- Grad3
- I am 32 years old and a survivor of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL.) In 4 years we have lost a total of 7 pregnancies, 2 losses were after seeing a heartbeat. L and I were able to keep baby number 6 after I started IVIg treatments. We were able to add to our family in January 2010 after using Intralipid treatments. My current diagnosis is RPL, PCOS, Factor V, and Abnormal Leukocyte Antibodies.
