High-Risk Pregnancy

Lovenox Mamas

At how many weeks did you start your injections? I just got a BFP today and still need to call my dr to schedule an appt, but I was just curious when everyone started.

Re: Lovenox Mamas

  • I started at about 7 weeks, but should have started earlier...we had all kinds of issues finding stuff on ultrasound and they didn't want to start until we had a heartbeat.  Others have started as soon as they get BFP.

  • I started at 4 and a half weeks, since I was on vacay in Florida when I got the BFP. But my MFMs nurse said that most ladies don't start until 6 to 7 weeks.

  • I've always started at 8 weeks, after pregnancy is confirmed via u/s.  I've had a different dr with each child and they've never wanted me to start earlier.  It's important to have an u/s first to be sure the pregnancy is viable (and not ectopic especially).

  • My Dr started me the week I got my BFP so I was 4w5d
  • I'm hetero for Factor V Leiden and never had a clot (family history only), so I'm on a prophylactic dose only.  I had my first appointment with MFM at 8 weeks, and started Lovenox at 12 weeks.  I've been on baby aspirin since TTC and will be on it for life. 

  • 28 weeks :( Should have started earlier after they found a DVT in my left leg :(
