Thrombophilia

by babyjakemom, May 14, 2008 05:42PM
Hello,

I have thrombophilia MTHFR 677 Heterozygote and factor XIII Heterozygote. A fertility doctor found it and said baby asprin will be needed for the rest of my life. I had 5 pregnancies with 2 miscarriages I just had my last baby and tubes tied so no concern over the risk there. But I was wondering do I need to still see a hemotologist or just stick to the one asprin a day? I am not sure how serious my thrombosis is?

thank you
Lisa

stick with the aspirin.  it will not hurt you but a clot can.  obviously you have had miscarriages from clotting issues.  that should be your answer.

I have prothrombin and lupus anticoagulant, so I have a cloting problem to. I had
3 clots in my left lung and 1 in my right lung and when they put a screen in I had another clot. I was on coumadin for 6 months and the Dr. wanted to put me on an aspirin. but when they did the study about aspirin the study was not done with plain aspirin it was buffered aspirin buffered aspirin contains Magnesium, Magnesium
thins the blood. Aspirin can cause strokes and bleeding.
