Hi Val4,

Have you had a clot event as well as diagnosed with APS?

[val4 in reply to maximus31]

hi Maximus31 I have not had a blood clot other than when I have my cycle and I only found out I had this after 5 miscarriages in a row

Hi Val, thanks for the update. Sorry that you had 5 miscarriages. My understanding is that after multiple miscarriages, they test for APS and if positive , asprin or another blood thinning drug is given to reduce the chance of another miscarriage.... After baby is born, I am unsure if mother continues with blood thinner or stops. Maybe other members could comment.

You have not told us where you live and if you have got a Specialist of autoimmun illnesses (we need a Doctor who has had patients like us before). Also what symptoms from APS you have got and if the Asprin helps.

Usually it is enough with 75-100 mg of a baby-Aspirin as a bigger quantity may give you stomach problems.

I suggest you do as APsnotFab has said and then stay with us to learn a lot from our helpful and friendly members.

Best wishes!

HI, I hope you enjoy looking at our new charity and website. It will inform you immensely, and do also feel you can continue to ask questions, as we are all in a similar boat with regard to this disease, and some of us have several other things also. If you look over on the right hand side of our forum, we have pinned posts, and under that is our list of recommended specialists, we also have quite a few on the actual charity website MaryF
