I was on baby aspirin my last pg too which I lost, just a few days ago at 8.5 weeks along. I am heterogenous for FVL, but since I have two healthy babies who were born at 41 and 42 weeks with no issue, all the specialists haven't thought the FVL was a likely cause. I have had 5 first trimester miscarriages, 3 without a heartbeat confirmed and 2 after. ( I recently found out I had insulin resistance too and went on a special diet for that, but I miscarried again anyways). It's hard to know what the exact cause is sometimes. Even if a possible reason is found, it's not always the real reason! I had hyperemesis this past pg, but still miscarried! It sucks. I was on baby aspirin, vaginal progesterone, folic acid, zofran, and phenergan. Then I had to add colace due to zofran constipation. I don't want to keep adding more and more medicine if I don't have to! (Plus, I'm still breastfeeding my 2 year old, making the safe meds issue a concern. Lovenox is safe for nursing though).
I've done some research on lovenox/heparin. It's not without risks. But the benifits do sometimes outweigh the risks. That would be something to discuss with your dr. I'm not sure if I'll be put on lovenox next time. The chromosomes of my last loss are going to be tested. (Also, the fetal pole didn't look quite right on the 7 week ultrasound, despite a good heartbeat and good size so I really wonder what was wrong). My RE brings each case up to the panel, which is filled with all sorts of specialists, so I'll have to see if anyone has any bright ideas for me. This last time, I was relieved when both drs I went to didn't think I needed lovenox. I'll take it if I needed it, but I really didn't want to need it!
