hi i have to take it because i have anticardiolipn antibodies in my blood, which means sticky blood. so this prevents the embryo from sticking as a good blood flow in the uterus is required for implantation... my doctors is the one who is perscribing it

Hi there! I was wondering why that medication sounded so familiar and now I remembered. Clexane is an anti-coagulant. This is to stop the blood from clotting fast. Is it that you have problems with your blood, like thrombosis or that you are not an active person living a sedementary lifestyle? I really don't see the relevence to this being a treatment for IVF. Aspirin is also in that category, so don't use it otherwise it may cause hemorhage. Ask your doctor what the purpose of this anti-coagulant in your IVF process.
