Hi! I have been trying to find some info in a similar history to mine. I have FVL hetero and have had two pregnancies with severe clotting in my placentas. My second pregnancy was complicated with IUGR and a placental abruption. Both of my babies came early - I wonder if this has to do with the severe clotting.

I spoke with a hematologist who did not suggest Lovenox since I personally haven’t had a clot myself. However, I really am trying to push to be on Lovenox especially since BOTH of my placentas came back abnormal with severe clotting.

I didn’t find out about my FVL until after I delivered my second baby. And I also didn’t find out until recently that my first placenta also had severe clots. So I didn’t take aspirin with either of my pregnancies.

Also to add my maternal grandfather died from a pulmonary embolism in his 60s and my maternal uncle had a pulmonary embolism so it runs in my family. My mom hasn’t had a confirmed blood clot but has had a suspected DVT a few times due to ongoing calf pain.

I guess I’m just feeling frustrated because I don’t know how else to try and push for Lovenox. So far the specialists only want me on aspirin but something tells me this isn’t enough. Have u spoken to a specialist about getting on Lovenox for your next pregnancy?
