Hi Intro and Heparin question.

Hi ladies I should have popped over here long ago as I have the double whammy of history of PE on birth control and GD. My EDD is August 30th and I was just switched from Lovonox to Heparin. Thank g-d no clots so far and controlling GD with diet and Glyburide. So I have a Heparin question. I was on prefilled Lovonox 40 twice a day and now I am on 10,000 usp per ml 1 ml twice a day Heparin. Is it normal for Heparin to make you feel a little loopy and tired? Anybody else on a similar dose?

    I am on Lovenox 40 1x a day and will be switching to Heparin in approx. 8 weeks. I'm interested to see how others respond, OP. Hope you feel better soon!

    I take heparin, 10,000 usp per ml, 1/2 ml 2x a day, and I don't feel any side effects except the bruising. I hope you feel better!

    Thanks ladies I'll just chalk it up to either being in the final weeks or maybe my blood sugar was a little low. I must say the Lovonox was easier, I hate the vials, but it is comforting to hear that other people are on similar doses.
