I posted this on the 2 tri but thought maybe someone on here might have some experience with this?
Anybody else have this?
I just found out yesterday that I have it....I guess its a good thing to know for current/future pregnancies and surgeries.
I am little nervous because I am probably going to have C/S again and the whole surgery things scares me a bit. I see my Dr next Friday so I will get to ask her a lot of questions then. I was doing some reading on the internet and its talks about some of the risks in pregnancy which I didn't even know about - I already have a DVT but I didn't know about the pre e risks and others. Kind of scary, trying to not get too worried about this diagnosis....
Re: RP: Factor V Leiden
I should also note I am on Lovenox twice daily. Tomorrow i go to have another ultrasound on my leg to see if my blood clot is completely gone so I can go down to one shot a day - YAY!
Hi, there! I don't have Factor V (this is one of the many things I tested negative for--see my reply to seniah_05's post), but since I've had a clot in my leg and my dad has clotting problems, too, I've done tons of research. Feel free to private message me if you have questions!
I'm on Lovenox, too (once a day as a preventive measure).

Thanks Ladies - its nice to hear other's stories and know that you aren't the only one going through this and wondering about the what if's too.
I am definitely bringing a list of questions to my OB appt next Friday so I can feel a little better about all of this.
I haven't heard back from the hematologist yet about my US yesterday (my blood clot is now gone) so I am not sure if he wants me to go to one shot - he made it sound like if its gone he just wants me on a preventative dosage.
I currently tak 80mg 2X daily. It would be nice to only inject once a day but not at the risk of anything happening!
