lovenox

Avatar n tn 1) Have you ever heard of lovenox injections to prevent further clots in stents and 2) what are the risks from lovenox to her relatively healthy kidneys (after 30+ yrs of diabetes)? Thank you for your good advice. You were the only Dr. who said E.R.
Avatar f tn I take a 40mg injection a day because. I have the factor 5 heterozygous gene. I just take it a day at a time and hope a clot still don't form. But I'm 35 weeks +5 and she's measuring in the 86th percentile and healthy.
Avatar n tn t have mini pill either due to SVT and lovenox shots. I took a test a week ago should I take another?
Avatar n tn Congrats! I'm due August 4th. My original date was the 7th but the sono said I was a little further along. What are lovenex shots?
Avatar f tn Aspirin will help counter the effects of the birth control pill, though, so is not a bad idea. Lovenox is a good idea to counter the factor 5 deficiency. so in my opinion, you should continue with the baby aspirin and lovenox as ordered. As for your first question, a PFO is a "hole" in the heart that is open when you are in utero. Upon your first breath, it closes from the pressure of the first breath, because it is no longer adventageous for your body to have this hole.
Avatar n tn Lovenox safety in pregnancy is a question that is best answered by your obstetrician or by a high risk maternal fetal medicine subspecialist. I personally do not believe the low positive cardiolipin titers were related to infertility; the relationship is with recurrent pregnancy loss. I too respect your RE' reasoning for initiating lovenox, but would not have done so myself - a matter of opinion and my interpretation of the research and evidence available.
Avatar n tn I was put on Lovenox and a baby aspirin 2 weeks prior to miscarrying. The Doctor seems to think that when we get pregnant again that I can get on Lovenox and baby aspirin when i'm 7 weeks pregnant and that the pregnancy will be a healthy succuessful one. I'm just wondering has anyone else had a successful pregnancy taking Lovenox? Just really nervous and have alot of questions now. Should I go ahead and take the baby aspirin now or wait? The Doctor says we can try again in October.
490183 tn?1361213953 I was just diagnosed with a mutation of the MTHFR gene. This causes the body not to absorb folate or B9, which is essential to the fetus. It also causes blood-clots. I have had 2 m/c's in the past year, and may be on my way to a 3rd one, because I didn't start taking the right vitamins till well into my 6th week of pregnancy. I also have to take a baby aspirin for the rest of my life.
Avatar f tn I had an ablation last week and am doing well, but am very beat up (low energy, black and blue, sore throat from TEE and polka dot bruises from Lovenox). My question is how long a time period is it usual to be on Lovenox? My doctor has said a full month. From my research, other than pregnant women, for all other conditions it says 2 weeks or less. I can't take coumadin due to a severe reaction to it.
Avatar n tn Anyone taking Lovenox? Im 9 weeks and between the lovenox and the prenat vit I feel groggy all the time..just wondering if lovenox makes you feel bad..
Avatar m tn I have been in atrial flutter for 2 1/2 months now. I am 74, have had 3 ht attacks, angioplasty, double by-pass surgery and now am waiting for an ablation. Did all of you have to be on coumadin and get 4 protimes 2 to 3 or above for 4 weeks before the procedure? I get a couple weeks in, and then I drop below 2 and have to start my weeks over again. It has never converted for one minute since the flutter has started.
1227139 tn?1462334630 In addition to high doses of folic acid, there is another option- L-methylfolate, found in NeevoDHA. L-methylfolate is the active form of folate, which your body makes from folic acid. L-methylfolate bypasses the genetic limitations of MTHFR and is 7 times more bioavailable than folic acid. You can view the methylation cycle here: http://www.neevodha.com/mthfr-pregnancy/ We are glad to see such a useful resource on MTHFR.
Avatar f tn I was on lovenox mine didn't burn but the doctor told me to ice the injection site first then it wouldn't be as bad......I'm almost 39 weeks and they switched me over to heparin at 38 weeks..........I'm going to the hospital Thursday the 5th to get induced......
645220 tn?1233764146 That's interesting, because I tried googling this a few weeks ago. I've been on Lovenox since April, and once in a while, I'll get a syringe with a needle that just won't penetrate my skin properly. After searching online, I found NOTHING, so I started thinking it was just me...but looks like there's at least two of us then ;-) Let me know how your injection goes tomorrow. It only happens to me every once in a while, so hopefully it's the same for you.
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?
287479 tn?1272730364 I've never been on Lovenox...but am a nurse and give the injections all the time......You may have some spotting only b/c it's a blood thinner...but I'm not sure that it would be unsafe to have some spotting...as long as your cervix is in good shape.....
873190 tn?1304812975 I'm on Lovenox for Factor V (one gene). Same thing...repeated early losses in the past, but research indicates that Factor V should technically only be an issue in 2nd and 3rd trimester. Yet, this is the only pregnancy that continued past the first trimester and this time I was on Lovenox from day 1. The last two times, they wanted to wait and see a heartbeat before starting the blood thinners.
Avatar f tn So I'm going on a daily dose of Lovenox, and I have to have hydroxyprogesterone weekly. I'm getting nervous not so much for me but my fiancé. He takes great care of me and idk if it's hormones but now with baby #2 being a girl it's a risk I may genetically passed or will pass my high blot clot risk to her. What if she has miscarriage problems or risks having going into labor early. I worry about my son too- I just found this information out today.
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.
513660 tn?1217171919 Any one out there feel differently? I am thinking of requesting Lovenox in addition to aspirin for next round. Any benefits or harm? How do you all feel? Thanks!
270512 tn?1333177636 t think clotting in the lining itself is the issue. I think the problem is when a clot forms in the blood supply to the embryo. So, in my opinion, starting Lovenox at ovulation should be just fine :-) Best of luck with your IVF!
1414636 tn?1288284680 I've used lovenox with my last pregnancy and with this pregnancy due to a blood clotting disorder. Lovenox is perfectly safe. does not cross the placenta but thins the blood just enough and very evenly to prevent blood clots. there are no side effects except maybe I bruised slightly easier.
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.
Avatar f tn I am pregnant. Well 9 weeks to be exact. I am on lovenox because of blood clot. How about you? and how do you feel?
