New to forum Protein c deficiency?

Hi everyone,


I lost my little Angel on January 27th at 19 weeks. We have since found out that I have a protein c deficiency and that is most likely what caused his death. I have my first appointment with the Hematologist this Friday. I really don't know what to expect. I so desperately want to start trying to get pregnant again however my OB advised against it until I see the specialist. I think protein c deficiency is different than FVL but just kinda wondered if anyone else out the has PCD or knows anything about it.





Thank you all for reading.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.





PCD makes you more likely to clot. The hematologist will likely go over past blood work and may order more. He/she may recommend extended or lifelong anti-coagulation. The downside in your case is that the most common oral anticoagulant is coumadin, which is usually contraindication in pregnant women.





Be sure to talk to the hematologist about your desire to get pregnant.





Best of luck.
