Hematology Appointment

I met with her today and she was great - so kind and understand.  I am going to like working with her.  I will be seeing alot of her if I get pregnant.  She told me as of right now I am not on enough Folic Acid - even though I take Folate and a Multi Vitamin with Folic Acid in it - it is still not enough for me - she wants me on 2 mg of Folic Acid a day which is alot and less than I am currently taking.

I also have to up my Thiamin intake and she wants to to switch my multi-vitamin to a pre natal vitamin in preparation for when I cycle.  She said taking the probiotics and Zoloft with not affect me regarding my blood clotting disorder - she is also going to look at the pathology report for when I had the miscarriage and see if there was any blood clots in the placenta.

She said once I get pregnant - I will have to start on the Lovenox and see her right away for bloodwork.  Then I will have to go back every three weeks for the first six months and then every week after that.

At least I know now what the correct vitamins are that I need to be on - I plan on taking my long list of prescriptions to the pharmacy tomorrow.  I am too young to have to take all of these pills - I think I am up to 6 pills a day now.
