[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lovenox is not a drug to be taken just in case it may help - it has pretty serious risks associated with it. That may be true for the other drugs too[/quote]

OP has test results that would specifically indicate whether or not it's needed.[/quote]

This. People act like immune and clotting treatments are voodoo. They're not. Doctors may disagree on the science underlying them but the fact is the doctors who prescribe them are measuring actual things. For lovenox there's a blood test you get monthly to make sure you're on the right dose and it's keeping your blood from clotting too much or too little. For prednisone or intralipids or other treatments the doctors will test whatever immune factors they believe are at play and assess the numbers. They don't just hand you these drugs and say have a fun 10 months of pregnancy. I have never been stuck with so many needles in my life. Blood draws every 2 weeks just for the immune stuff, monthly or more for the lovenox, on top of MFM and OB appointments.[/quote]
