boys. I was diagnoised with itp in August 2013. Just found out last week the baby has no heartbeat and blood flow from the umbilical cord. Has anyone else had problems with carrying a full term pregnancy? I'm 32 and not sure I'm ready to give up hope for 1 more.

But my platelets fell to 9,000 and now and am having a hard time with IVGIV and platelets and steroids to get them up past 50,000 to have a DNC. I am in the hospital being monitored.

Hi, I have chronic but mild itp, my levels are usually around 50, I was diagnosed in 2001, and have a very healthy 6 year old and 4 year old. Don't give up hope. There's a possibility this tragic loss is not related to your itp x

I am so very sorry for this tragedy. But did your doctors tell you it was a result of ITP? I never heard of that before.
