Anyone on heparin (blood thinner) and got BFP??

Post by hellokitty »

I posted this on other boards but also wanted to check here. I have been recently diagnosed with a blood clotting disorder after my m/c (lst attempt with IVF). On my next attempt I will be adding heparin injections. I haven't seen this problem on the board alot and I was wondering if anyone still got a BFP. I'm also dealing with a very bad case of PCOS.

Any info would be helpful.

Thanks

hellokitty....

I am taking Lovenox injections which is also a blood thinner and am pregnant with twins. I do not have PCOS and will be on the blood thinner for the entire pregnancy. I also had a m/c in December which is why my RE put me on the blood thinner.

Good luck!

Twins...that's awesome! Congrats!

Thanks so much for responding...it does give me help. It seems I can get pregnant but not maintain it. So, hopefully the blood thinner will help.

Thanks again

Hi there,
I was on heparin until my 36th week of pregnancy as I had episodes of bleeding all thru my 1st tri.I started when i was 4 weeks though..
Wishing you loads of luck for your cycle.

Thanks Smita, your experience is very encouraging. I'm feeling better already. Although, the RE wants me to start before the cycle even begins...but whatever it takes, right :wink:

Keisha, I too have had BFNs in the past. My RE thinks it is from my positive APA (antiphospholipid antibody). I am currently doing a FET cycle with a transfer date of 4/26/07. I am taking baby asprin and heparin daily and have also added twice weekly accupuncture sessions.
Ange, thanks for the inspiration and congrats on the twins!
