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.
Alternative to warfarin?
Has anyone in the group with APS had DVT whilst on warfarin? What treatment and advice was given?
