A member asked:
Had a rhogam in injection in january. in march (9 weeks later) i had indirect antiglobulin test and tested positive. is this because of the rhogam?

Likely: The half life of immunogloblin G is about 4 weeks, therefore you are likely to have residual antibody from the Rhogam injection at 7 weeks after the injection. Your doctor may wish to retest in about 6 months.
