FortyFour,
I had great success with the Lovenox and Heparin. I actually started Lovenox the day after I found out I was pregnant and I used it until I was 36 weeks. My RE gave me the Lovenox as soon as my test came back positive. Then at 36 weeks, my OB had me switch to Heparin in case I went into labor early. Then night I delivered, I had to start back on the Lovenox for six more weeks. Typically, with thrombophilia (MTHFR and other assorted clotting issues), the biggest risk of throwing a clot is post-partum, so if you're on Lovenox during your pregnancy, you'll most likely continue after the baby is born. No big whoop. Remembering it is really the only challenge. Well, that and finding a good injection site that isn't already bruised.
I truly believe that it helped me maintain this pregnancy, and I was glad to have it. I'm sure it will do the same for you and I pray that you are reporting on your pregnancy very soon!!
My best wishes to you and your husband for a blessed holiday and a baby filled new year!!
