[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I miscarried my euploid embryo at 9w despite prednisone + aspirin, and despite not having any of the clotting issues my next protocol involved lovenox, and I am currently 22w. [/quote]

Thanks.  Are you still on the lovenox? If not, when did you stop? I’m being tested again for antiphosolipid syndrome bc my doctor has “a strong clinic suspicion” even though my first test was negative.  Part of me is just like why not try the lovenox.[/quote]

I'm still on. My OB is indulging me, the RE had suggested stopping at 12 weeks. my intention is to stop the week I expect to give birth-- basically, if you've taken lovenox within 24 hours of labor, you wouldn't be able to have an epidural, and an emergency C would mean being put under a general. While it might be just random luck/superstition, the lovenox is the only difference in protocol for me, and so I have no desire to stop and have the placenta clot or degrade before term. This is my last (donor) embryo. I _am_ hetero for MTHFR, so while the RE and OB don't consider MTHFR to require lovenox... well, I'm still going. Also there may be some untested genes/sperm issues that can affect placental development, most of this is still very much a black box. [/quote]

Thank you! I also forgot to say congratulations before, so congrats !   That all makes sense.  I’ll see what happens with antiphosolipid syndrome testing and if it’s still negative ask about taking lovenox anyways.  I am having similar thoughts/fears and just need to do something different this time or else I don’t think I’ll be able to feel mentally prepared to try again.  [/quote]
