My hematologist's office called with my blood lab results this afternoon. They found another mutation...something other than the positive MTHFR stuff.
I am positive for the PAI-1 polymorphism. I was told that I have 2 out of 2 copies, meaning I am homozygous for this. PAI stands for: plasminogen activator inhibitor.
The nurse said that this just confirms Dr. P's recommendation of using Lovenox from ovulation until AF or PG and then continue throughout PG. She said that basically because I have two different factors/mutations that have to do with blood clotting, it increases my risk or chances of developing blood clots.
Of course I've searched the internet for whatever I could find on this, but there isn't much other than journal articles and some message board threads.
I started the Lovenox injections last night and we've been timing our BDing. Now we wait til AF doesn't show!!!!!
If anyone reading this knows more about PAI-1 polymorphism, please let me know!!
