Hema Update

LaneCA

I finally saw a hematologist this past Friday. I was having trouble breathing again and pain in my left lung...which he attributes to either scar tissue, or a piece of a clot broke off and went to my lung. There's nothing they can do about this now....but he said it should get better over time.

The highlights of the meeting were:

- 2 shots of Lovenox p/day for rest of pregnancy (120 dose), switching to Heparin before delivery (Heparin is 3 shots per day). Then switching to Coumadin.

-  He said I got my clots in an unusual place (jugular and arm). He thinks there is another inherited clotting disorder that contributed....or just extremely high estrogen from OHSS.

- MTHFR is not that big of a deal (according to him) so that is not the culprit.

 

Ugh. I really wish my RE never took me off Lovenox for that 1 week. I only spotted once from my SCH, and during that week, I developed the clots and swelled up like Shrek.
