[quote=Anonymous]I had a DVT in my leg but from a high dose BC before I was pregnant. I had symptoms, got it checked out and was able to do meds at home. I was put on enoxoparin/Lovenox for 8-10 days and then on an oral tab (Coumadin) for six months. I had to go get my blood drawn and tested three times a week for the entire six months. It was a huge effing pain in the ass. Once you have a clot you have a 50% chance of developing another within the next two years so you have to use preventative measures, especially when sitting for prolonged amounts of time (like flying). I was also not permitted to ever go back on hormonal birth control. As a precaution I was tested for all blood clotting disorders and was negative. Your doctor may very well send you for that just so you get checked out. [/quote]
