Cholestasis??

Question

If I’ve been tested for Cholestasis and it came back negative, could there be a chance I have it now? I got tested back in June cause I had a bunch of itching everywhere, but my blood came back normal. Now, I’m having yellow stool and I’m just not feeling like myself, my feet and hands only itch for a second every other day. I’m trying not to worry but I’m worrying about this. I’m 32 weeks now

Answer

It’s definitely possible. Itching often happens before the rise in bile acids. I’d also make sure your doc is ordering the pregnancy version of the test and that they understand cholestasis well. 
I had it my last pregnancy and midwives have already tested once as a baseline. And they agree to continue testing as long as I’m symptomatic. I’m actually asking for the test at my next appointment because I’ve started to notice the itch again. 
There’s a FB group - icp care / itchy moms. Highly recommend if you have questions, get diagnosed, or need to understand anything about advocating for your care.
