I posted about this on the miscarriage forum, but wondered if there were any answers here?
Does anyone else have a blood clotting disorder, or have you taken heparin (blood thinner) during pregnancy?
I believe, although not 100% sure, that my miscarriage might have been caused by blood clots.
I tested borderline for blood clotting problems, a few years ago when I was pregnant w/my daughter, so I took heparin injections during the pregnancy. I did not take the injections the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy with her, because at that point I was testing normal for blood clotting. So my OB said I could quit taking the injections.
This most recent pregnancy (that I lost) my OB was saying I was testing normal for blood clotting, not to take heparin. So I didn't. Wound up losing the baby anyway. Is it possible the miscarriage was caused by something else, OR did my blood levels change really fast and start making blood clots?
I can't give up until I get answers, I won't ever stop searching for answers on why my baby died. I have a few more frozen embryos and want the best possible chance for them. Am planning to see a hematologist also.
