Blood Test Results

Filed Under Pregnancy | Leave a Comment

I got the results back from my 75 vials of blood I had drawn at my appointment last week.

The good news is that I don’t have any diseases. No HIV, hepatits, syphillis, gonorrhea, or anything else nasty. Oh wait, maybe that’s because I don’t sleep around with dirty people.

I wasn’t concerned about those anyway. The part of the test I was really interested in was the RH part.

My blood type is A- which means that now Jonathon has to get his blood tested. If his is negative, then we’re fine because the baby’s blood type will be negative. If his is positive, then the baby’s blood will be positive. If that happens, then I have to get Rogam (sp?) shot to keep our blood types from fighting with each other.

At least, that is my basic non-doctor understanding of the whole thing. Apparently, it’s not that big of a deal, just one more thing to do. I would have preferred for my blood type to be A+ just because it sounds like a better grade or something. Oh well.

Got the insurance coverage statement back for the second HCC/progesterone test my doctor sent me for. Covered 100% again. So far we have paid nothing out of pocket for this pregnancy, at least as far as doctor stuff goes. Still waiting to hear back on the first office visit and the million vials of blood.
