Hi Everyone,

If this is your first week checking-in, please let us know your EDD and the reason you are on blood thinners.  (If you have checked in before but have not been added, it is likely because you didn?t give your EDD or the reason you are on blood thinners.)

QOTW:  How many babies do you plan to have?

sgb721

When we talked about it we wanted to try for 3 children. This is our 5th pregnancy as we've had four losses prior so not we're shooting for one for now

Shaungela

I havent posted here before, but chances are with twins and multiple losses i will be high risk!   I am on 80mg of Lovenox & Baby Asprin.  I have several clotting disorders that were found when my RE ran his RLP. 

Here are my issues, I tried to remove the immune stuff, but i may have missed some

Low Antithrombin Antigen, Hetero C677T, High Protein S, Low APTT, Low DRVVT, Low Plasminogen, Low Protein Z, High Factor II, High Factor X, High IgG, High CBC.

My EDD based on ER is 2/16.

What?s new this week? - Saw 2 heartbeats on Wednesdays U/S both are measuring exactly where they should.

How is everyone feeling?  I feel good

How are your bruises?  Not bad, they were pretty bad but i went to Vegas last week and they faded really quickly and i didnt get any new ones while i was there...  Unfortunately i have since i got home, but they are very small!

QOTW: I dont know.  We only had 2 embies fertilize and we put both back and they both implanted.  So we would have to do another fresh IVF if we want more children.  We are not ready to discuss that yet lol

 

 

SpruceGrouse

No more than 2.  I want to see how I handle one first before deciding if I could handle another.  My main reason is my penament  exhaustion from my strokes.

Athena97

I'm feeling pretty good. Finished my first month of the Lovenox and I'm beginning to bruise more often. But the pain isn't bad.

 We had our N/T Scan last Friday which went really well and received all the blood work back this week - no genetic issues in me and the baby's risk for trisomy's is really low. So I'm happy. Just trying to stay cool now that that we having a serious heat wave.

 Only one kid in the plans for us right now.

st.augbride

Just 2 total. I'm an only child and dh has one brother, so 2 sounds great to us.

damabo80

Qotd: I don't know. Possible 3, but we're thinking of calling it quits after 2. The world is pretty much designed for family 4 packs. 

I don't know what we're going to do for BC. Maybe just nothing, and if it happens, it happens. But, after 3, Id want to take permanent measures.
