Anyone been on Lovenox for factor 5?

Question

I’ve been prescribed Lovenox because I have factor 5 Leiden gene mutation and my blood clots faster which can cause miscarriage. I’ve had two recent losses so I’ve been prescribed these injections twice a day with this new pregnancy. I’m scared of getting hurt and getting excessive bleeding or something. I’ve never been on a blood thinner before. Anyone have experience with this medication or blood thinners in general?

Answer

I’m in it now for a dvt and was on it in 2020 when I was pregnant with my son. Both pregnancies went and are going well ! With both I started my shots around 7weeks pregnant , I’m currently 17 weeks now. Their definitely going to hurt at times, sting , left with bruises and bumps but you kinda get used to it after a while. I hope you have a safe pregnancy! You can ask all the questions you need to!

Answer

I am taking these now as I'm pregnant. I was also dx with Factor V Leiden. I sometimes have bleeding at the injection site.

Answer

I have a similar story I had two previous miscarriages due to my blood clotting in my placenta out on lovenox once a day and twice a day at 37 weeks and 6 weeks later now have a beautiful baby girl . Had lots of bruises on my belly but very very worth it. Good luck you’ll do great!

Answer

I’ve been on for the last few months for a DVT, and will continue to use after baby is born for a few months. We’re inducing labor at 39 weeks. It took some time to get use to the injections and my sides get fairly sore at times. Apparently, it’s more common than I thought in pregnancy.

Answer

I was on it post pregnancy and both my sisters during pregnancy and 6 weeks after, between the 3 of us 7 healthy pregnancies no issues.

Answer

I’ve been taking these shots as well. I use the generic form so it’s enoxaparin for a dvt and pulmonary embolism I had last year . I’ll have to take it for the rest of my pregnancy and 2 months after . Sometimes it hurts but I can usually get a good spot to where it doesn’t . You will most likely bruise a little bit but make sure you move the injection site so you’re not just using the same side each time .  I’ll pray for a healthy and safe pregnancy and delivery for you!
