Anyone on Lovenox... Will the burning ever go away? Any advice of where to do the injections. My love handles are so soar and its only been a week.

Oh Jordan consider yourself lucky! The shot doesn't burn, its about 30 second after that is torture for about a good three minutes. This is my second time around on this but I wasn't pregnant the first time. I doesn't get any less painful. Congrats!

I was on lovenox mine didn't burn but the doctor told me to ice the injection site first then it wouldn't be as bad......I'm almost 39 weeks and they switched me over to heparin at 38 weeks..........I'm going to the hospital Thursday the 5th to get induced......wish me luck

Lovenox is for blood clots. I had two pulmonary embolisms last tear from being on BC pills. As a precaution, they put me back in to avoid developing any more during the pregnancy.
I don't know what fragmen is, I'm going to Google it now. @ krisdy, I didn't know you can do it in your legs. The Dr was so specific about where he wanted me to do it..in the love handles but if I can alternate from legs to stomach, I will. Where in your legs?

I was just recently on lovenox and I did my injections in my legs. I have to tell you the pain was not as bad as doing it in my stomach but I did end up with a lot of bruises. I am now on fragmen shots and I do them in my stomach cause my legs have not healed yet.Btw if you were wondering they took me off my lovenox at 37 weeks but I had trouble getting my insurance to pay for the fragmen so I didnt start it until I was 38 weeks and I had my baby after only being on it for 3 days.
