APS and Pregnancy

Does anyone have APS and what was your pregnancy experience?

 

I have had six pregnancies that all ended in miscarriage.  After the last one I was diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome.  We are now TTC for the seventh time.  We have been trying for about a year now and the doctors diagnosed me with secondary infertility last month.  Which basically means that they have no idea why all of a sudden I stopped being able to get pregnant when I am usually as fertile as can be.  Now I am on my first round of Clomid to increase ovulation and I am crossing my fingers that this works.

    I'm sorry for your losses.  I had several pg losses while doing IF treatments and after the 2nd loss, I was diagnosed with APAS, along with 2 other clotting issues.  My fertility dr. felt as though the APAS and the other clotting issues may have contributed to my pg losses.  I was told that I needed to take Heparin (blood thinner) shots during pg, for the APAS.  I actually got pg again with IF treatments and did Heparin as the dr. recommended.  But that pg ended in a m/c, too.  Dr. then felt that I had egg quality issues, which no amount of Heparin would fix or improve. 

    I now am pg as a result of using an egg donor and have been taking Lovenox (similar to Heparin) shots ever since a gestational sac was confirmed on u/s and things have been going well. 

    Good luck to you!  I'd see what your dr. says about the APAS.  Some drs. just use baby aspirin to treat it during pg; others prefer Heparin or Lovenox.
