Clexane anyone?

[_Anya_]

Hi ladies!
I have had 1 miscarriage. I was recently diagnosed with MTHFR and PAI-1 mutations.
I was put on Clexane (0,4) a couple days ago, my first injection was at 4w + 1d. I'll probably have to take it daily till the birth and maybe even later. It sucks. Hope nothing bad has happened during TWW without injections. When did you start yours?

Mine is an ivf cycle and they started me on clexane from 4days after FET. I do not have any clotting issues but I had 2 miscarriages. I m carrying twins now and lost one already. I m scared to death for the other baby. Seems clexane is not helping me much. Or may be it is! Keeping fingers crossed for my rainbow. I m just 9wk5days, eagerly waiting for first trimester to be over.

I have been taking it for last 7weeks almost. I got bad bruises all over my tummy so switched to thighs. I take progesterone injection daily too.

I'm taking Clexane. I'm almost 6 weeks pregnant and gave been taking it for almost a week. I asked about injecting my thigh and was told that the needle I'm using is too big for that My stomach is a mess but obviously I'd rather this than the alternative.

I'm similar to ttcmoon, as am pregnant via IVF so have been on clexane 2.5 weeks, but not even 5 weeks pregnant yet. My stomach was looking terrible, so I did a lot of Googling to see if there was a better way to do the injections. The best tips were to not use an alcohol wipe first, as that makes the skin harder to pierce (and unless you are filthy, it's not an issue), but the thing I found best is to use the wipe to remove the drip of clexane from the end of the needle before use (you need to be quick before another comes out), this way no clexane gets into you before the needle is in place, since doing this I've only been getting tiny red puncture marks and one massive bruise from where I must have hit a capillary.

Hope this helps somebody.
