My heart breaks for you after everything you've been through. I don't have any advice but know that I'm thinking of you as you decide what to do.
Good Luck:)
I was on Lovenox for both of my pregnancies for a blood clotting disorder, and went off of it a few days before each c-section and everything went fine. I was high-risk for both pregnancies.
My doctor is incredible, and would be a good person for you to see. His name is David McLaughlin, and his office is at 146th & Hwy. 37 in Noblesville/Fishers area. www.familyjoy.net
My OB/GYN was Jim Brillhart. Amy Hayes is also good.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know I understand how you are feeling & I'm here if you ever want to chat! I have a blood clot disorder, we found out when my 5 year old son was born, he was full term via c-section, but only weighed 4 lb, 15oz. They found the blood clot, during the c-section. We were advised that with future pregnancies, I had a 50/50 chance of it again, with blood thinners I still had a 10% chance. We decided that it was best for my husband to get a vasectomy, and adopt in the future, but there have been times over the past 5 years that we have regretted that decision. I hope everything works out for you!
I am so sorry to hear about your problem. I had dificulty carring all 4 of mine, I lost my first baby miscarriage, then the second I started labor in the 28th week & finally delivered in the 32 week, #2 I was on bed rest in the 5th month untl she was born, the 3rd rested on my spinal column, & I kept kicking my nerve & I would fall. But I started with serious problems after the fact. But I learned to work with Homopathic methods to help. With sleeping ect.. I read where some doctors allow you to take 1 baby aspirin a day even for pregnant woman, Ginko Bilboa, and Garlic pills, GNC can suggest medicines & talk to your Doctor about the different Homopathic treatments. Also when I was younger I drank a lot of Sassafras tea and it thinned my blood. I am not sure where you can get it, my dad digs up the root for me. Those are a few suggestions to help thin your blood.
