High-Risk Pregnancy

Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS)

After having 3 miscarriages I was recently diagnosed with APS and was wondering if there is anyone else on here who is pregnant with APS or has had a successful pregnancy with APS?
Now that we know, I will be starting Lovenox (comparable to heparin) after my next positive pregnancy. Just wanted to hear from you and see what your experience has been so far!

Re: Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS)

  • Hi there, just wanted to reach out and offer information if you are still seeking and to let you know that if your doctor offers you the NIPT test from any company, you are likely to have no results return due to being on the lovenox - it isn't well understood why it messes with the machines that do the test but the current guess is that it dilutes the available placental debris (cfdna) and makes the fetal fraction too low to read.

    I hope you have a successful and uneventful pregnancy! Wishing you the best.
