Lovenox Question

Hi ladies,

I am a semi lurker/semi past poster.

I had lost my daughter at full term last April and am now 22 pregnant with my second daughter. So praying and hopeful that we will have a positive outcome. And knowing my sweet angel is looking after her little sister.

I have recently found some answers regarding my loss that I am finally feeling some reassurance over and the specialist who I have seen has recommended Lovenox, 40 mg. 2x a day.

I'm finding myself a little nervous as the dosage seems high to me. I only know one other person on Lovenox and she's only on it once a day.

I do trust this doctor, but wanted to know if anyone else is on this dose.

Thank you for your help girls,

Christine

I take the same dose and it has worked for me! I have been on it since the beginning of my pregnancy. Good Luck to you!

Re: Lovenox Question

I am only on it once a day- but there are many doses depending upon needs.. I go to the perinatal doc every 2 weeks- so who knows, the dosage could change based on need.


sorry for your loss.

Re: Lovenox Question

i am so sorry for ur loss.

Like pp said ur dosage is for what u need. Im on it 1x a day and im on 40mg. My hematologist said im on that dosage bc my mcs were early on and i dont have a history of blood clots in legs etc. If u have a history of blood clots in other areas of ur body and have had a late term loss then u are on a higher dosage. HTH

Good luck!

Re: Lovenox Question

I am only on it once a day but as others have said, I know a few girls who take it twice a day

I am sorry for your loss, best of luck

Re: Lovenox Question

I am on 40mg once a day because I don't have any clots. I am on it to prevent clots. If I had a history of clotting or had a currant clot then they would discus upping my dose to 60mg once a day or 40mg twice a day. It would depend on the circumstances. I would trust your doctor. If they believe your dd was lost due to a clot they will want you on a higher dose so you new lo will be safe

Re: Lovenox Question

I am on it 2x a day.. Please don't worry.. This keeps the placenta nice and healthy.. I started 1x then was raised to 2x.. I see Dr Kofinas in Garden City.. He is on top of his game!!

Re: Lovenox Question

I am on it twice a day too. I am sure it is fine.

I am sorry for your loss-sending you lots of good vibes for this pregnancy

Re: Lovenox Question

I guess the whole thing made me nervous at first, but it does seem like SO many women are on it!!! :)

Thanks for your help.
