Question About LA/ clotting disorders

Sarahp63

Hello ladies! I recently lost my baby,and after some testing, found out I have lupus anticoagulant. I will be going in for more testing next month because my RE thinks i *could* also have lupus. It does run in my family and has caused fertility problems. Anyways, my question is: what do they normally do to treat this? I hear of Lovenex, and is this via injection? What about Coumadin? I am terrified on top of my IF issue I will never be able to carry my child full term. Anyone battling lupus? Thanks for any advice and congrats to you all!:-)

I'm so sorry for your loss.  I don't know anything about LA, or lupus in general, but I do know that a regimen of BP meds, coupled with daily Lovenox injections, have been what has saved this current pregnancy of mine, after 2 losses, a high risk pg, and another stillbirth.

So, I guess I'd just encourage you to have all the testing done that you can.  Sometimes, they find something that is a huge fertility issue with the SIMPLEST fix....

Good luck, and again, I'm sorry for your loss. =(

I am so sorry for your loss. I have LA and I've been taking lovenox and baby aspirin daily since I got my BFP and I also had fertility issues but not related to thiis. They didn't find out ethis until my IVF bw. My pregnancy aside from GD has been healthy Good luck!!
