Clots or miscarriage: Blood clots, like deep venous thrombosis or DVT in the legs, or pulmonary embolism in the lungs, or pregnancy complications including recurrent early pregnancy loss (3 early miscarriages), 1+ late miscarriages, or severe pre-eclampsia. Antiphospholipid syndrome (aps) is less common than antiphospholipid antibodies (apa). If you have 2 or more miscarriages consult a fertility specialist (rei) md.

There are a few...: The criteria for the diagnosis of aps is based upon both clinical findings(what happens to you) and laboratory findings(results of blood tests). Some of the clinical findngs are a history of blood clots; fetal death over 10 weeks; delivery under 34 weeks due to preeclampsia; 3 or more recurrent miscarriages. Since aps can adversely affect a pregnancy, you need to discuss with your physician.
