Common Questions and Answers about Lovenox for infertility

lovenox

Avatar n tn I also have the same issue. My IGM first came back borderline and then the 2nd 2 tests were just slightly positive. I don't have any history of miscarriages. I'm on 40mg Lovenox a day and have been spotting brown blood for past 2 weeks. I have heard Lovenox causes bleeding. I don't think I need to be on Lovenox. My Rhemetologist said some docs would think Lovenox is necessary while other docs would think I wouldn't need Lovenox.
513660 tn?1217171919 Hi everyone. I am new to MedHelp. I am 31 no found issues for infertility for me and my husband. I tested borderline for anticardiolipin (level 11). I am finding out the rest of my results for immune issues. I have had 6 failed IUIs (3 medicated cylces) and 1 failed IVF/ICSI cycle. I am doing a FET in June and was told I can try aspirin therapy. I have never had a BFP so doc feels since no miscarriages chances of immune issues being the casue are slim. Any one out there feel differently?
Avatar f tn We have been trying to conceive for three yrs with the help of IVF procedures. We have had three unsucessful trys, no implantation but in lab the embyo will reach 7-8 cells when split and dividing. My transfer has always been a 5 day plan and they are saying that I have a Luteal Phase defect ? What is this and how can it be treated ?
330481 tn?1309488243 I am homozygous (2 copies) for the A1298C. The doc said if want we can start on the lovenox (blood thinner) as soon as I am confirmed preggo. I was reading up on it also: I apparently need prescription folic acid (for the rest of my life - whether TTC or not) and baby aspirin (for the rest of my life) because the homozygous causes clotting in small vessels in the body (AKA - UTERUS - UGH!).
Avatar f tn We began seeing a fertility specialist 4 months after the first miscarriage. No cause for infertility has been found. We began Clomid and did two rounds of IUI. I got pregnant on the second IUI attempt. I had a second miscarriage in February of this year. At six weeks, a heartbeat was detected, but at 8 weeks there was no heartbeat. The baby measured 7 weeks and 3 days. I had a D&C and the doctor ordered chromosomal testing.
Avatar f tn I was on lovenox for a short period of time. I could not find a spot for the injection that didn't make me cry. I'm sorry you are going through this.hopefully they can switch you to the heparin by mouth instead. They told me that they normally keep ppl on the lovenox until wk 37 b.c it's longer acting and then the heparin after that b.c it's out of your system faster and is safer foe delivery bit maybe you can get switched earlier? Good luck!
Avatar n tn The night of the day of the procedure I had, I restarted the Coumadin, and the following day after the surgery used Lovenox for 2 days giving the Coumadin time to begin building back up again. Speak with your husband's cardiologist who can oversee this for you.
Avatar n tn Hi, everyone I had my first ultrasound on dec 3rd It was great I saw for the first time in my life a little heart beat. I was very excited, the doctor said it was very strong. Q: When you transfer multiple embryos and only one takes, what happens to the others? And also, I was perimenopausal before this egg donor pregnancy, I am on estrace, vaginal progesterone, lovenox.
Avatar n tn I dont know anything about the lovenox but im sure your Dr knows whats best for you.
Avatar n tn To tell you the truth Im not for sure why Im taking Lovenox...we have 2 children and had no problems getting pregnant,etc..For some reason when I turned 30 I had three mc back to back..we were going to a fertility specialist and finally was able to get pregnant again the doc put me on lovenox,baby aspirin, and progesterone..looks like everything is going fine with this pregnancy..Im 9.3 weeks due Feb 21st.
Avatar f tn I am 20 years old and I have been married for a year and a half. My husband and I lost our first pregnancy due to my diagnosis of Endomitriosis and two clotting disorders. Both found after the miscarriage, the blame too. I just found out today that I am pregnant again. I and my husband are in denial and are not sure of this is true. We have been trying for so long that we gave up trying about 7 months ago.
Avatar f tn My Lovenox prescription was for 12 days.Now just on Coumadin 5mg daily and INR has come down to 3. If you cannot tolerate Coumadin you may be "stuck" with Lovenox because of it's ability as an anticoagulant.
Avatar m tn Thanks so much for your in-put! Did you also have to have your protime 2 or 3 for four weeks before the procedure? That is what is killing us! I am also worried about having no reduction in the atrial fib. beats for so long. Medicare will only pay for a protime test once a week. Scares me also.
Avatar f tn I also have to be induced at 39 weeks and then continue lovenox for 6 weeks after delivery.
645220 tn?1233764146 I took lovenox for 2 months because i got a blood clot in my left calf from taking birth control pills, and then had to be on coumadin for another 6 months of anticoagulation. In addition i am a nurse and have to give lovenox injections all the time and teach people how to do their own injections. I am not an OB nurse and I am curious why your are taking lovenox during your pregnancy, do you have a previous clotting issue with your pregnancies?
Avatar n tn Our interventional cardiologist was away and his partners wouldn’t touch it and made her wait for 3 days in the E.R. for his return. She had i.v. nitro and heperin. Was that safe? She is now taking lovenox injections to see if this prevents further clots because 1 platelet count came back slightly elebvated and it should have been zero (it was 288)..
873190 tn?1304812975 s the charm for you (as it was for me) and that lovenox helps you have a happy, healthy nine months! Miranda: Best of luck to you! I hope your next BFP will be a sticky one! I hadn't heard about the bone density loss before. I'll have to look that up. Thanks for sharing!
Avatar f tn m worried about what I was reading about epidural while taking lovenox, debates on when you should stop prior to surgery for pregnancy; possibly bleeding too much. That and I do not get numb underneath my skin so another c-section would be a bit uncomfortable since I passed out last time from all the pain and I like to be aware what is going on. That and if anything goes wrong I'd be passed out before I knew so....
645220 tn?1233764146 I've been doing Lovenox daily for the past 4 months and have never experienced this. In fairness, it's DH who does it for me!! Where are you doing it? I do it in the belly, either side of the belly button and at least 2 inches from the belly button. Are you pinching the skin? You should be pinching quite a chunk... as in, put your finger and thumb about 2.5 inches apart on your belly and push together.
287479 tn?1272730364 I am 22 and I have had three miscarriages in the past year. I've never gotten past 6 weeks. My doctor did a batch of bloodwork on me, as well as shooting dye into my uterus and tubes. Everything in my blood work came back fine, except I have MTHFR, which is a blood clotting disorder. We finally feel ready to try again. My doctor gave me a prescription for Lovenox 40mgs once a day. Plus I'm on Folic Acid. Has anyone taken this and had a sucess story?
Avatar f tn Lovenox is for blood clots. I had two pulmonary embolisms last tear from being on BC pills. As a precaution, they put me back in to avoid developing any more during the pregnancy. I don't know what fragmen is, I'm going to Google it now. @ krisdy, I didn't know you can do it in your legs. The Dr was so specific about where he wanted me to do it..in the love handles but if I can alternate from legs to stomach, I will. Where in your legs?
523025 tn?1227557625 So i went for my 25 week d/a today and it looks as if i'm going to have this little girl earlier than expected. We discussed my section and the doctor wants me off all lovenox/heparin for at least a week before he does the surgery. Since i went into labor with my daughter at 39 weeks he thinks i'll go earlier than that with this one. So he is giving me an amnio at 37.5 weeks to see if her lungs are developed - if so he said he will deliver her between 37.5 and 38 weeks.
Avatar n tn Has anybody used the blood thinner lovenox? My doctor put me on it for the whole pregnancy. I just forbid out I was carrying 4 days ago. I'm very nervous because I've had 3 miscarriages before this.
1414636 tn?1288284680 t pay for it and it was very expensive. So now I have medicaid and the doc has perscribed me lovenox.
270512 tn?1333177636 oops... I keep doing that... I mean my RE.....
Avatar n tn On the expired lovenox, just be sure that nothing has precipitated out of the solution. In other words, you shouldn't see any flakes or granules in the liquid. You also don't want to see any color change, or any kind of change from the normal appearance of the product, at all. Otherwise, as long as it looks okay, using it shortly after expiration is probably fine, in my personal opinion. (Bear in mind, I'm a patient and not a doctor or a pharmacist.
281219 tn?1219114914 Another quick question for you, were over the counter prenatal vitamins okay for you??? I wont know for another few days, but I am worried that I might be pregnant but it is too early to test. So, I wanted to get on prenatal vitamins ASAP just in case.
