May-Thurner Syndrome

Jess

I was diagnosed w MTS during my last pregnancy. This was my 3rd baby & I had 0 complications w my first 2. My 3rd I had about 4 dif high risk complications & one of them was my left leg swelled up huge one day out of nowhere & I had to inject blood thinners the rest of my pregnancy. I stopped after she was born, but still have issues & just take aspirin bc I can’t deal w the side effects of the blood thinners.

My vascular surgeon won’t place the stent I need in my iliac vein until I’m done having babies. Bc she says my risk of blood clot is actually worse w the stent, & I will just need to do blood thinners again to prevent it, then surgery afterwards.

However. I can’t get pregnant!! We have been doing everything right. On all the vitamins I need to take & I was super fertile before. So something is going on & I’m worried I’m not getting enough blood flow to my uterus to get pregnant.

Has anyone else been diagnosed w MTS & gotten preg w the compression??

I can’t have surgery if I wanna get preg & I can’t get preg without the surgery!!! What the heck do I do!?!
