Do you mean baby aspirin?

If you end up having to get heparin injections, then you do them and the baby aspirin is discontinued.

I'm having to take baby aspiring and when I get pregnant, I'll go to the injections.  I think they do it for some time, but I don't know if it is for the entire pregnancy.

Yeah I am on baby asprin too..I had a positive MTHFR. But my doc never talked abt heparin shots. My sis had 2 M/C in her 2nd trimester adn I think she has to be on heparin when she ttc next. I am confused if I should be on heparin once I concieve.Anyone knows? I have a doc's apt on 7th march so will ask him at that time too.
Baby dust to all

I am on my 9 pregnancy and I have 1 successful baby and he will be 1 on August 19th. I found out that I had 1 copy of Factor 5 and 2 copies of MTHFR in 2007 2 months before my successful pregnancy. Luckily, I found out. During the pregnancy I took 2 Heparin shots a day, baby aspirin, b12, b6, folic acid, multi-v, vitamin c, and calcium. During the middle of my pregnancy they switched me to Lovenox 1 time a day and then for the last 2 months it was Heparin again. I am now on my hope to be 2nd successful pregnancy, I am only 4 weeks and I am my 1st appointment on Tuesday. I know its gonna be long and hard, but the final product is well worth it, I wish all you girls much luck, and hopefully we all will have a wonderful pregnancy.
