First, thank you so much Malcolm and Mable for your posts. It has been incredible helpful to discuss this with people who know the subject. It was frustrating when my doctor was unable to tell me the probability of a false positive vs. actual sensitization.
Thank you so very much for providing the information and analysis. It gives me hope to carry on until the
Another point I wanted to add is that the baby only developed to 8 weeks (however, I only found out at my first scan at 12 weeks and which point a the miscarriage was medically triggered). I think this point is further in my favor. From the research I've done, there is only a theoretical risk from a 8-week old fetus; I could not find research discussing actual cases of sensitization that early on. At 8 weeks it is equivalent in size to a raspberry, although it potentially had an active heart and blood cells. But as you mentioned, the amount of red blood cells would have been very small.
Thanks also for clarifying/demystifying the titer results.
I have been referred to an OBGYN (who will hopefully have greater knowledge about this subject than my doctor) and I'll have another blood test in 3 weeks. I'm very hopeful that everything will come back clean. What result should I be looking for? Less than 1:1? Or negative?
My husband and I plan to start trying to conceive again in two months so hopefully we will know with certainty before than.
Again, I can't thank you enough for your kind words and the information you provided!! It has given me hope to carry on until the next test...
