protein s deficiency

Why my post is not there?
Hi, Mizerech and Kylie
It’s so nice to hear from you!  You are so quick. Thank you all for your response. I’m so relieved when I saw Clexane will not pass through the placenta and cause harm to foetus.

I had my blood test today. The pregnancy hormone level is normal. Hurray! I will have an ultrasound on this Tuesday 12th May, so I will know if it’s a viable pregnancy. After that, specialist will put me on Clexane.

I used the Clexane (40ml) once, the needle is so big, and left a bruise on my belly. I’m imaging if I need to use Clexane everyday, how many holes and bruise I will have on my tummy? What brand of Clexane you are using?

Kylie, I’m so sorry hearing you had clots and gone through the terrible clotting problem. Hope your next pregnancy will not cause clotting problem if you use the medication as your Dr suggested.

Mizerech, you said “i have only been on clexane through pregs and hepran for 6 weeks after bubs is born”. In which week did you start using Clexane and until which week? So you only use Hepran for 6 weeks after birth? What’s Hepran for? Is it an injection?

My protein S level is around 47 to 50 (normal range is about 75 to 155 if my memory is right.) There are three or two types of protein S deficiency. I’m belonging to type one (the common one) as Dr said. I found out this problem because of my two miscarriages. I saw fertility specialist after that two sad experiences, and the Dr asked me to test protein S. Do you mind if I ask which type do you have and what level you have?

In Dr report, there are a few suggestions for people with protein S deficiency: don’t sitting too long without moving; if go on long trips, then wear special stockings; don’t use hormone therapy; Take Aspirin daily as your normal life event; etc I cannot remember all. The report is at home. I’m now at work. I will post more when I have another look of the report.

Mizerech, It’s so happy to see you are having the 5th child and due in two months. All the best! I’m already in my thirties, and have not had my first baby. I have to work harder. If not, it will be too late to have 3 or 4 kids, which is my dream. 

No, Kylie, I have not used Warfarin. Probably, when I see specialist after my first trimester, he will tell me if I need to use or not. I will keep you informed. It’s first time I hear about post-partum pre-eclampsia. I will do more search on that. Yes, It’s really hard you had that with you having a new born. Hope you are alright now.

I’ve got to stop and back to work. Keep in touch! Have a nice weekend. Happy mother’s day to you two! It’s Kylie’s first mother’s day, so it’s very special! Hope this time next year, I can celebrate mother’s day as a mother.
