My blood test from last week finally came back – and at that time I had no antibodies. This means that so far, I didn’t get Fifth from Noah. But it also means I could have (none of those nice lifelong antibodies), and I will be retested tomorrow, and if the short-term antibodies do not appear, I’ll be tested again. They are most likely to appear in this next test if I did get it.
This does not make me happy. If the short-term antibodies appear (followed by the long-term ones) we will be on a sort of death/damage watch for the rest of the pregnancy.
Emotionally I’ve just stepped back from the baby idea. I’ll take my prenatals, avoid all the stuff you have to avoid, and just wait to see what the next few tests show.
