Hi guys,
I'm currently 25 weeks pregnant and have been taking 100mg of Aspirin and clexane injections daily from the day we found out we were pregnant.
I've had 2 miscarriages, one at 18 weeks and thanks to a fantastic doctor was diagnosed with Prothrombin Gene Mutation (blood clotting disorder).
I have been told I will stop taking the aspirin at 34 weeks and will be induced at 38 weeks. 1 day prior to the induction day I will stop the clexane injections so as to decrease the risk of bleeding out, I can have a ceaser if required or an epidural.
I'm pleased with this as all I want is bub to be safe.
Needles are ok, I get bruising every couple of days and getting worse as the fat roles run out as belly grows.
There are many stories on here from girls who have had similar issues and are now taking clexane and have gone on to have perfectly healthy babies so this gives me lots of hope.

Hi DeDe -

This is almost exactly what my OB is doing, except I will be induced one day shy of 39 weeks. We actually set the date at my appointment today. I am stopping aspirin now, and will take my last clexane shot of 40 mg the day before induction. (I should go and update my ticker with my induction date of June 26th!!)

I also have PGM.

My shots are becoming more of a challenge as well, but still not as bad as when I was injecting incorrectly earlier on and I looked like a punching bag!!

Best of luck to you!!
