Don’t know whether to be annoyed about this or not...?

Hello community,

So yesterday (2nd September), I received the follow up letter from our consultant following our consultation, the letter is dated the 4th of July.

I’m due to test on Sunday, but the letter contains some pretty important about blood thinners which surprised me as it didn’t seem to reflect the convo we had with him. We asked about taking Clexane and mini-aspirin and I’m pretty sure he said there was no need in my case (I had a thrombotic risk profile done about 2 years ago & things were pretty normal), so I put it out of my head.

However the letter mentions taking Clexane or equivalent from the day of transfer and mini-aspirin if positive pregnancy occurs. Since the consultation, there has been zero mention about these by anyone from the clinic. Obviously saw him 2 Wednesday’s ago for the transfer, but he never mentioned a thing. He only mentioned about my Lubion fridge scenario and agreed with the supplier that it would be ok to continue with (see my previous post), but that was it.

I was getting a bit wound up yesterday about it, but obviously trying to keep my emotions in check during this really critical time and hope for the best for Sunday.

My husband rang yesterday and left a voicemail with the clinic, so we’re awaiting a call back.

Question is, should I start tasking this stuff now or is it too late? Do I need a prescription or is it over the counter? Any experience or similar scenarios would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks a mill xx

hey hun. Annoyed on your behalf too! You need a prescription for clexane- did they send you one? That’s so irresponsible of them not to give you all your medications at the beginning of the cycle. I probably wouldn’t try anything knew now but I am sure ladies on here might have some experience. I just think unless you have clotting issues - blood thinners are not required - so be comforted by that for the moment so you aren’t stressed out and you are letting you little embie settle in. Wishing you lots of luck x

Hi Leo1980, thanks for responding x no prescription from the clinic, part of the reason for our confusion.

I’m going to let my husband deal with the clinic at this point as I think if I talk to them it’ll just annoy me.

Thanks for the good wishes xx

P.s. best of luck with your journey too💞
