lovenox

Avatar f tn s causing the bleeding, but has me on activity restriction (no exercise, no running, no yoga,) pelvic rest, and flight restriction. I'm nervous, to say the least. I'm still bleeding too, but the blood is mostly brown now. I have been searching all over the internet and in books to find out what causes intense bleeding in early pregnancy when there are no apparent problems. There does not seem to be any answers out there. Does anyone know why someone would possibly bleed?
9137321 tn?1402710290 I'm 5 weeks 7days and it's 4 am here. .I'm on lovenox..or and I got up to pee and I have a rash on 2 sides of my belly I'm not sure if it's from Lovenox..or or sun burn or what...well when i wiped there was blood on the toilet paper...am i misscarrying??? This Is my 3rd pregnancy and the first time on Lovenox and I been taking it for 3 weeks and doing fine now I'm flipping out.
Avatar f tn I also have to be induced at 39 weeks and then continue lovenox for 6 weeks after delivery.
Avatar n tn If your brother was hospitalized due to mini strokes he may have been given anticoagulants to dissolve clots and keep the blood thin. The side effect is bleeding. The bruise could be due to that. INR, bleeding time, clotting time etc should be done and he must consult his doctor immediately-ASAP as he could also be bleeding internally. Take care!
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.
Avatar f tn Was little pink the first time. This is my first pregnancy, had to use Clomid to help get pregnant and I am on lovenox shots to do a factor 5 leiden mutation. Called my doctor and she said not to worry unless it becomes heavy bleeding with cramping. I'm still scared. We having been trying for a baby for so long. Anyone else go through 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.
523025 tn?1227557625 Anyone been on lovenox and had brown spotting? With my daughter i did not go on lovenox until 11 weeks and i never had an internal after that. I'm assuming this is all stemming from the internal, the pap, etc. Any help would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn Sometimes there is bleeding at the cite of cath penetration, and with anti-platelet medication there can be excessive bleeding....also there is a small risk of a puncture with a cath. I didn't have any problems with bleeding, etc. but after reading thousands of posts on the subject many patients experience problems. I recently had a colonoscopy and was told to stop anti-platelet medication 6 days prior to procedure and there is a risk of excessive bleeding if there were polyps...none found.
7552771 tn?1469929649 Platelets are what helps clot your blood, they all group together. Low platelets puts you at an increased risk for bleeding, but high platelets put you at an increased risk for excess clotting, such as DVTs...
374593 tn?1257879950 the first pregnancy i just took my Multivitamin and then prenatal when we found out.. and had no bleeding, infact i waited for weeks to start the miscarriage bleeding after we found out the pregnancy was not viable.. so the second pregnancy i was taking an extra folic acid in addition to my prenatal (since it can thin the blood like asprin) and i had all that bleeding.. so that makes me a little hesitant.. what do you think?
1569985 tn?1328247482 I have to go off my Warfarin for a colonoscopy. The cardiologist's nurse said ask the doctor doing the procedure how long I should be off of the Warfarin. Doctor says ask the assistant when she gives me my instructions. Assistant says, "Oh, I'm supposed to tell you? Do you need a bridge medication like Lovenox?" Makes me a little nervous going off of it anyway and now this.
Avatar n tn On 12/1 I had a complete metabolic profile drawn for a routine endocrinology follow up and LFTs then were ALT 17 and AST 18. The Sectral and Lovenox were initiated before my preop labs on 1/29, which showed LFTs elevated (ALT 120, AST 59). I am concerned that the Sectral has been toxic to my liver and want to stop the medication now. I will be having labs repeated on 2/13, and will see the gastroenterologist again on 1/21.
Avatar f tn I had a scheduled induction with my first and they had me stop the Lovenox 2 days before to avoid any excessive bleeding. We will have a scheduled induction again with this one. However I'm on a lower dose than you are and my clotting issue is estrogen related... I only need to take the injections for 6 weeks after the baby is born. I've never found the injection pain that bad...
281219 tn?1219114914 d to my doc, to navigate this is to go on Heparin instead of Lovenox because your anticoagulant dose can be counteracted, thus reducing alot of the risk of anti-coagulant-based bleeding at the c-section site. And the side-benefit is that if I go into labor unexpectadly I won't have to be put under general and an epidural should be fine. I'm so sorry I can't remember who asked me this!! I know she wasn't pregnant yet but this was a concern to her.
Avatar n tn As far as I know lovenox is no reason to perform a c section. If you are unsure, then please ask your Dr. why he/she wants to deliver you this way. Your wishes do count and it's important you feel comfortable and confident in how the actual delivery takes place.
Avatar f tn t argue or comment on your doctors opinion on the necessity of taking it while also on Lovenox and I definitely agree that Lovenox and Folgard are MUCH more important rather then just the aspirin, but if he is of the opinion that they do two different things and you are not taking the aspirin to cover off the missing 12 hours, according to my hematologist, taking only one dose of Lovenox per day wasn't covering me off all day (which is where I obtained the information that it is short lived
Avatar f tn My doc,will switch me to heparin when I get to 7 months. I guess heparin is easier to control with bleeding. Lovenox I guess has a harder time being reversed. Ewww. So scary. I'm so terrified that I will hemorrhage during my csection. Thank you for making me feel not so alone. ♡♡ good luck and how far along are you?
Avatar f tn I am currently 25 weeks and have been on Lovenox since week 6. I have a blood clotting problem. I will have a csection at 36 weeks but that is due to other health problems. I will have to have those stupid leg vacuun things while in hospital to keep circulation. I hate those things very loud and you can't move. Plus will have to continue Lovenox for 8 weeks after birth.
287479 tn?1272730364 Turns out I have a bloody clotting disorder. I got pregnant again (and started the Lovenox injections) and everything was going well until last week. I began having spotting. My hcg was increasing, but my progesterone dropped quickly and I lost the baby. My husband and I are giving this one more shot. My doctor wants to start me on Clomid next month, along with one baby aspirin a day and and folic acid until I get pregnant.
Avatar n tn sent home with probable mc to return if any pain/bleeding, ectopic not ruled out. off lovenox. md agreed to wait and see, follow hcg. 7/5 27,128. repeat us showed "faint yolk sac and fetal pole hb 94bpm. heterogenous area resolving subchorionc hemmorhage, left ovarian cyst and ectopic ruled out" i was told questionable viability due to hcg levels not correlating with us findings. are there any explnations for high hcg levels and not seeing anything above discriminatory levels?
Avatar f tn my first pregnancy with this dr. and taking Lovenox for the past 15 days.....Had second sonogram yesterday and saw fetal pole, yolk sac and heartbeat!!! I was so excited, I was on cloud nine all day...until two hours ago when I heard my latest #'s.....already spoke to dr. he said not to worry and go for blood test Mon. He did tell me originally that the minute I think I;m pregnant I should start the Lovenox. I started it when my levels were only42!!! Good luck to you.
Avatar f tn I was put on progesterone when i was 8 wks and motrin at 9 due to bleeding and contractions.
Avatar n tn my husband is 51 years old and has had by-pass surgery,and has a mechanical valve and is having sever side effects from the coumadin. We need a safe alternative for coumadin without compromising his health. We are looking for a doctor to help support this transition.We reside in PA. and hope to find a medical doctor that will monitor this change, what is your opinion?
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 n tn I just had a miscarriage on July 30th and I was 23 1/2 weeks pregnant. 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.
