Any other mamas on Lovenox?

I have a history of pulmonary embolism so I've been seeing a hematologist. I have been prescribed the blood thinner Lovenox during pregnancy to prevent possible blood clots. I have to give myself a shot in the stomach once a day. Just wondering if anyone else here has to do the same for whatever reason.

    I am on it. I hate the shots. But if it keeps me/the baby healthy is worth it. I've gotten beget at taking then and don't bruise as much anymore, so that's good.

    I'm on Heparin because Lovenox is too expensive on my current insurance. I did Lovenox with my first pregnancy which was nice.  I was going to start a thread for high risk moms on Wednesday's, but I always forget! :(

    I'm hoping I won't have to. I'm on a baby aspirin a day for my MTHFR since it puts me at a higher risk for blood clots. I meet my MFM on the 30th, so we'll see!

    I'm on Lovenox 2x/day for Prothrombin Gene Mutation (Factor II ). I was on it for my first pregnancy & 12w pp. For some reason, I'm finding it much more painful this time.

    I'm also on baby aspirin hoping that's all I'll have to be on unless things change later in pregnancy like with my first child :-/

    I'm on once/day Lovenox shots. Last pregnancy I had to take twice daily Heparin shots (because Lovenox was price prohibitive) and am thanking my lucky stars the price of Lovenox has been slashed in the past few years so I can afford it this time around. I have Factor V Leiden (hetero) and a history of PEs.

    I am also on it once a day along with baby aspirin TL gard and progesterone. I've had 2 losses due to MTHFR. We had an u/s last week and finally made it past the last 2 losses at 7w5d. I will continue to have scans once a week till 12-14 weeks.
