Hi Dr Jacobs,
I'm currently 15 weeks pregnant with twins, from my 4th cycle of ICSI.
I have blood clotting issues and tested positive to ANA (low titre 1:80)
To combat this during my IVF tx I was on 20iu of clexane, 5mg of dexamethasone, 5mg of folic acid, 75 mg of aspirin, plus Vitamin B complex.
I was told by my RE to stop the clexane at 14 weeks and to gradually reduce the dose of steroid.
My Obstetrician is not really a believer in immune issues and thinks the steroids will do me and the babies more harm than good, and the only things he was happy for me to continue was the folic acid, low dose aspirin and B complex.
At 15 weeks I've now fully weaned myself off the steroids, but am feeling apprehensive about doing this still due to my immune problems.
I would just really appreciate your opinion on this and wondered what your protocol was for pregnancy and immune issues.
These babies are so precious to us and I would hate to think of something going wrong just because I stopped taking the medications.
Many thanks in advance for your advice and input,
Nat :)
