Hey ladies,

I really need to vent. To begin, I have APS with SLE and recently found out that I was pregnant. 5 weeks using last menstrual cycle. Ive had 3 previous miscarriages and as nervous as I am already. From my regular obgyn, I was referred to a specialist who was the one to diagnose my APS/SLE. Once diagnosed, I was told that once Im pregnant then to communicate with thier office so I can be prescribed lovenox. Fast forward to this week, ive reached out to the office of the specialist to prescribe me the medication to thin my blood and keep my baby as best I can with their help. Their office won't see me until the end of july. By that time Ill be close to 10 weeks but Ive never made it that far in my last 3 pregnancies. Then stated to me that I need to have my deductible paid in full before then as well or they wont see me unless I prepay my visit to cut down on the specialist seeing people with deductibles. I called my regular obgyn back and the earliest that office could see me is July 8th for a video conference. After several calls to what seems like everywhere, Im pretty much left to my own devices on how to do my best and stay pregnant with my condition.

After thoroughly researching medical books borrowed from family and good ole fashioned internet, Ive been thinning my own blood with natural foods. I already take a regular aspirin with my prenatal as this was my medicine before getting pregnant and for the last 2 years. I know it doesn't sound good, but I dont feel like I have much of a choice. Ive been doing small amounts of tumeric and will increase my omega 3 intake as well. I did spot earlier in the week, and it had stopped when I incorporated the tumeric.

I guess besides my ranting/venting what is your ladies opinion on this. Am I even doing anything? Why are these doctors all about the cash? I even stated to the offices that I feel they want me to miscarry on purpose, they dont have amy intentions on helping unless my insurance is paying them a guaranteed check. Idk 😐 ladies. Rant over, thanks for being a listening ear. And any advice, if you leave some is appreciated. 🤔🥴
