Hi Dr. Braverman,

I have a consult scheduled with you the second week in August. My question is should I start taking baby asprin and folate now or should I wait until I have my consult with you and you run whatever tests that you will order?

My doctor ran some blood clotting tests and they all came back negative, (factor V, lupus, prothombin gene mutation, protein C and protein S deficiencies,antiphospholipid,lupus anticoagulant, anticariolipin antibodies, etc. ) She was very pleased with those results but said she would have me take hi dose folate and baby asprin daily just as a precaution. And would want me to take those at for six weeks prior to trying again. After our recent second trimester loss. So my question is, will it throw off any tests that you will be running if I start that now or should I just wait until you have run the tests you would be requesting first?

Thank you so much for you help. I look forward to our consult and hearing back as to what to do in the meantime.

I also wanted to ask if it would be okay to start taking Omega 3 fish oil along with b vitamins before testing or should I wait on those? And if I should go ahead and have someone test my hormones before our consult or if that would be something you would be testing. I just had an SIS done and they mentioned that my endometrial lining looked really thin for calendar day 22 (it was 3mm) and thought that may indicate a hormone issue. Would they have seen my lining was thin in my ultrasounds while I was pregnant? Could that have been why I lost my baby suddenly at 15 weeks?
