Hello,
I have a blood clotting gene issue called factor V leiden which increases the risk for clots and I have had 2 miscarriages. I was on aspirin last pregnancy but miscarried at 14 weeks.
Next pregnancy I am going to take Clexane as soon as I have a positive pregnancy test and take it throughout the entire pregnancy and 6 weeks after the birth. You are also at a high risk for clots afterwards.
A clot in veins, especially a DVT that can travel to the lungs, is predominantly made up of a mesh of fibres called fibrin and has a few platelets which stick to it. Aspirin is useless against fibrin, it only works on platelets.
Clots in arteries that can give you a stroke etc are predominantly made up op platelets which is why a lot of people take aspirin to prevent strokes.
So if your issue is a clot in a vein, DVT, clot in the lungs etc, then Clexane for the entire pregnancy and 6 weeks afterwards would be what I would do!!!
Did they test you after the PE for Factor V Leiden??? One in 20 people have this gene.
