So just over a week ago I went for blood tests to check for clotting disorders. I genuinely didn't think anything of it, expecting it all to come back clear and our losses simply be bad luck.
Anyway a few days ago I received a copy of the letter my consultant had sent my GP. Within it, I read that I have been diagnosed with Factor V Leiden. A mutation of the gene. He advised that if I was to get pregnant before I saw my consultant again, that I would have to go onto Clexane injections.
My first question is; Has anyone had any experience with Clexane during pregnancy? Did it help? And did you have any extra appointments to keep an eye on what was going on?
So I lost my first baby at 7 weeks, there was no sign of baby left when they went to do an emergency scan after I had bled heavily.
My second I lost at 9 weeks. All natural.
My third I lost at 17 weeks. At the emergency scan I had with my third, the sonograpger explained that baby had died recently. Yet when the post mortem results came back I was told she had stopped growing at 12 weeks.
So my next question is; could this diagnoses, potentially be the cause of these losses? I am not asking for a specific yes or no, just a personal opinion about how you would interpret the information?
