Hello everyone! I was diagnosed with APS during pregnancy. I had my healthy baby 7 weeks ago I am wondering what contraception is adequate, since the pill is completely forbidden to APS patients.
Has anyone breastfed while on Warfarin? Thanks a lot!

Congratulations on the birth. Glad all went safely for you.
I don’t believe you can be on warfarin when breast feeding, I “think” it has to be lovenox but I am not sure.
I would say condoms!
I could not be on the birth control pill at all- ever- due to my mothers severe clotting history. OBGYN would not prescribe for me.
( little did we know at the time I kept miscarrying due to APS but luckily we did manage two healthy children.)
We used the cervical cap.
Congratulations, my little boy is also 7 weeks old 😃
You are able to take the mini pill, as this is safe for APS patients and I have taken it for years.
I have always been told that it is safe to breast feed on warfarin, and I think the leaflet inside the box may comment on it. I am on an alternative now so can’t check, sorry.
Your gp, and I guess a pharmacist, should be able to check for you though.
Hope you are also healthy after the birth.
