What have you been told about trying again?

I don't know if I do. They are going to get some more blood work on the 16th to check. It might be why my cord failed at 26 weeks.

I have a clotting disorder that my MFM says most likely caused my losses. I was not dx until after the third loss though. This pregnancy I am on heparin shots to counteract the clotting disorder and hopefully carry this baby to term.

Did it cause or contribute to your loss? Yes, we lost Patrick at 17 weeks because they know for sure my APS was a secondary reason (if not primary reason, primary reason is considered unknown) because I threw a clot into my placenta and it caused it to stop growing which caused Patrick to pass away.  They also believe it could be the reason for my early losses.

Did you know about the disorder before getting pregnant?  If so, were you being treated for the disorder while ttc and pregnant and with what? Yes I knew before ttc because I have had a clot in the past and my ob is proactive.  Treatment didn't start until pregnancy was achieved with heparin and now with lovenox

What have you been told about trying again? My ob and mfm believe I can achieve a safe pregnancy for both me and my baby.  This says a lot because my ob is very sought after and his office (there are 6 obs there) can't take patients at times because they are too full; I'm his most high-risk patient in his office when it comes to pregnancy.

It did not cause my loss, and I did not know about before. I was not treated while TTC but now I am taking Lovenox and baby aspirin. It's very common.

I have Factor II gene mutation. I don't think it contributed to my loss. I knew about it before we got pregnant (blood clot at 21). I am treated while TTC with coumadin on the stipulation that as soon as I get a 2nd line i'll switch to lovenox. 

Being on coumadin while TTC, some are opposed to it, but my hemetologist said as long as I'm off by 6 weeks everything should be good.
