so i called my stupid doctors office again today, and they have the lab results, but no one will give them to me cause my doctor has to and shes not in till tomorrow, it doesnt matter that its another day that goes by that i dont have my lovenox. i can not believe them, oh and when the doctor calls its usually at the end of thier shift which wont be till like 8 @ night so there goes another precious day. i cant wait for this woman to call me, shes going to get an earful. i asked my friend to get the number for a doctor that her sister highly recommends(shes also high risk) so im going to call as soon as i get the number. im at a loss, im also going to call my insurance provider and see if they can look up any high risk obs that they can refer me to. |

ok so my blood test came back positive 800hcg , i know for a fact that im only 3 weeks i conceived on 10/20(day condom slipped off), so that clears up that. the doctor called me and finally they started treating me with a little more urgency, i went in again today so she could comfirm the pregnancy yet again by ultrasound, i didnt think theyd want to do that, i mean can you see in just 3 weeks? but they saw the fetal sac it just looked like a tiny black hole on the screen. i still want to leave that doctors office though, the doctor just made me feel worse, she was not the original doctor from that office that i had seen when i was tested for the clotting disorder. so she was asking me how i was even tested since i only had one pregnancy loss(as if thats not enough???) cause its usually after reoccurent loss that they test. and then she proceded to go on about how i shouldnt have been tested because 50% of the population has the same mutation and are none the wiser and that its not what necessarily caused my baby to die and how putting me on lovenox might be "overkill" . how the f*ck am i supposed to respond to that? say "oh well then let me just be a guinea pig and not take the shots and see if my baby dies again?" why would she even say that to me? does she think i want to be on daily injections of a crazy drug while im pregant? so now im being made to feel like i might unnessarily be putting a drug in my body for no reason? this is nuts, calling a new doctor tomorrow, well see...... |

I am glad they were sensible and put you on the shot. That way you know that you are taking care of yourself and the baby. I hope that you will find a great doctor soon. That way you won't have to see this doctor through out this pg. |

Hello everyone. I am new here. I am currently 14 weeks pregnant and on lovenox injections daily. I have been taking them since the day I found out I was pregnant. I have a 5 year old son, but since then I have had 3 miscarriages. I am glad to meet people who are going through the same thing as I am. I wish you all well. I have a quick question. I have been giving the injections basically at the same time every single day, but tonight things were busy and i forgot. I'm only late not even an hour, but now I'm paranoid. I've been so nervous through this whole pregnancy! Do you all take the injections at the same time or has anyone been a little off schedule? This is probably a stupid question-- I'm just a bit stressed with this pregnancy. Thanks! |

I am so excited to find this form and to see the support here! I felt like I was alone. I to am currently on lovenox once a day, which will increase to twice a day. I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant and have had 2 miscarriages. I am unable to give myself a shot, so my DH does so every morning. |

cladesigns~ i was really scared to injection myself too, my dh and i already decided that when the time came he would do it, but he was out of town this weekend so i had to. the needle going in didnt hurt just the burn from the medication. |

also guys i had a pre-planned trip to the dominican republic in 2 weeks, the doctor says its ok to go but we all know how i feel about her........ what should i do? ill probably only be 5 weeks by then......... |

also because i was working on losing weight prior to getting pregnant(lost 76lbs, sad to let it go) i would do 45 mins of cardio 5 times a week, do you think i can still continue to work out? |

veroki~thanks for the info. I already know that I will have to inject myself. My DH is afraid of needles. He can't stand to see them go into skin. Even on TV when it's fake. |
