Blood Thinners

[Skp77]

Hi all

2 chemical mischarriages and 1 bfn. Next protocol for FET my clinic is saying to add blood thinning injections on to top lubion injection once a day, Utrogestron 3 times a day and Progynova x 3 times.

I did mischarriage blood tests and they came back normal.

Has anyone had blood thinner and did it help?

Anyone been on a similar protocol?

Hey, with my third transfer I was on a low dose of heparin (20) from day of transfer and I got as far as a CP (my previous two transfers prior to that were unsuccessful). For my fourth, I was put on a higher dose of clexane (double) from beginning of Stims and I’m still on it now at 10w4d. I’ll have to continue taking it until I’m 34 weeks but I do have elevated blood clotting markers so that may be why.

I think it can help, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s guaranteed If I’m being honest as I think lots of things play a role. But it’s definitely worth a try for sure and I hope it brings you success ☘️☘️ Xx

Hi, I did two chemical pregnancy’s. then the doctor put me on 75mg aspirin and 20mg clexane everyday. I am now 13 weeks pregnant. So I defo think the blood thinners work hun xx

Have you been checked by a hematologist? I didn't think a fertility clinic could add blood thinners without an underlying condition. I have factor v leiden and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) so I have been on mini aspirin and Fragmin (5000) once daily and I'm 12 weeks pregnant after a couple of miscarriages (when I did not use blood thinners because I didn't know about my blood clotting conditions). Good luck x

No just did a few blood tests. They came bk ok so not sure why they have said to take it must be just another something different to try.

Hi, my clinic is doing the exact same. I have had two failed FETs and going for my third in a couple of weeks. My clinic has said I can add in blood thinner injections if I want, said it won’t do any harm but might help. I find it strange they are suggesting it without any tests to suggest it’s needed but I am willing to try anything! xx

Best of luck with it... I think I might give it ago. But not looking forward to the injecting part.

I took aspirin and clexane injections as a precaution and was successful.

[Skp77 in reply to ChloeDE]

Congratz. I might ask about aspirin as they haven't mentioned that. Not sure what blood thinners they will give is it the same for all
