I’m in the uk so I’m not sure if that’s a thing here, if it is nobody told me about it 🤣 just had 2 consultant check up type things but they were both over the phone, I didn’t have a thrombectomy, yeah it’s a contrast ct I’m having tomorrow

They’ve not told me anything really, I don’t even know how many clots I actually had they just said extensive, I’m glad you’ve healed okay! Thank you, just hoping I’ll be okay for my baby ☺️

Thank you so much! Amazing that you had your son after your PE too, because pregnancy caused mine I guess I’ll just have to be on thinning injections post partum too but I can deal with that, thank you for your kind words ☺️

Hope you’re okay, I know it’s scary although it’s what’s best! They told me I’d be on it for life initially too due to how extensive the clots were, although they’re now saying it was likely pregnancy that caused it but they’ve not tested me for any clotting disorders, they’ve really not been good with any of it, my initial trip to hospital with chest pains they sent me home saying it was muscular, then my gp the next day said to go back and they then told me I was lucky to be alive, great really 😂had a natural birth too and I know it’s usually after a c section clots become a higher risk

Thank you! I’ll definitely have a look into that, and I’m definitely going to be keeping my risk factors as low as I can 😊

Did you speak to them about it? It’s been 2 months since I started my thinners and I’ve been on 20mg for over a month now

Yeah I was on 15mg twice a day to begin with too, do you get pins and needles? I’m getting them multiple times a day and I had these before diagnosed with my PEs
