XP from TTCAL- Clotting disorders

in Pregnant after a Loss
haven't posted much on this board but I thought I would come here to see if I could get some wisdom.

I just spoke with my dr. office today and got the results of my thrombophilia panel after my loss on 11/18.

Apparently I have 3 clotting factors in my blood that are cause for concern. i.e. repeated loss

MTHFR

Protein - S

High Plasminogen

They are referring me to a perinatologist for follow up. I'm a little freaked out by this and wondering if anyone has experience with any of these??

TIA

    I have MTHFR and Factor V leiden. I was put on Folgard (presc strength Folic acid, and vit b complex) I took baby asa while TTC and was on lovenox 40 mg daily with DD and had a successful pg. I had an early loss after her and one due to Trisomy 21, but am pg again and on lovenox, so far so good. HTH!

    I'm so sorry for your loss.

    To answer your question, I am homozygous MTHFR+ and we think that's why I miscarried in April since the fetal tissue was normal. I got pregnant 3 cycles later (and I was taking Fabb Tablets and baby aspirin daily before getting pregnant) and now take those as well as 3x daily prometrium and 2x daily Lovenox injections. Crossing my fingers - so far so good!

    I had 3 early losses before being diagnosed with a MTHFR mutation & Protein S inactivity.  I was started on additional B12, B6 & folic acid supplements along w/a baby aspirin daily.  I learned of my BFP only 2 days later, so I was already KU'd when I started this new regimen.  I can only surmise that it helped in continuing the pregnancy.  I was changed from baby aspirin to lovenox (a once-daily injectable anticoagulant) at 11 wks gestation.  So far, everything has gone very well.  Having been through losses before, I think it's instinctual to be a little worried that history will repeat itself.  Taking things day by day, celebrating each milestone & praying a lot has helped.

    There is definitely hope for getting & staying PG despite clotting issues.  I am only one of many on this board that have had success.  GL w/the specialist & best wishes for a BFP very soon!
