Well this morning I was a little late taking my Lovenox shot so I jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom. As I got in there something just didnt feel right down there. I sat on the toilet and noticed I was bleeding red. As I yelled to my husband I passed a HUGE clot and began screaming and crying. I was convinced that this pregnancy had just ended for me. It was the size of a hamburger patty pretty much. Sorry tmi! I immediately called Dr Kofinas and ran out to Garden City (a 1 hr drive from me) The sono tech took a look and both babies were in there floppin around! I couldn't believe it. Dr K was in the Brooklyn office so they called him and he got on the computer and viewed my live sono just like that. They said that the clot that measured 9cm last Thursday now seemed to only measure 5cm so they assume that huge clot was a chunk of the ginormous one I have in there. I am to expect more bleeding and follow up with Dr K on Thursday like I was scheduled for. I still can't believe it. I was scared to death. I a just so happy my beans are still ok!!!
ETA: I am still pouring red blood out and hate it! I am also supposed to keep taking the Lovenox, but I can't help but wonder if thats why I am bleeding soooo much right now??
So glad to hear the LOs were in there jumping around happy as clams!
Lovenox will definitely make you bleed more. MIL was on it for a while during her radiation for her brain tumor (to keep her from getting blood clots in her lungs) and her whole body was covered in bruises. Hopefully if you pass the rest of the clot, you'll be able to go off it.

Unfortunately I need the Lovenox for their placentas cause there is so much damage done already from clotting so my chances of getting off the lovenox are not so good at this point. it makes me feel dizzy and i feel like my heart is racing sometimes but I can deal if it means my babies will be ok. I am just worried cause I am bleeding a LOT!!
