Vitamin K Deficiency & Lovenox during IVF?

I was recently told I have a vitamin K deficiency and suggested that once a FET is successful with the first beta results, I would need to be on a blood thinner more agressive than the baby aspirin regimn prescribed last time which was successful until week 6 when I miscarried... I'm nervous about taking a blood thinner- seems more risky than need... any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Well after I have been through I am now taking the blood thinner.  I also had an issue with superficial phlitis which is blood clot of sorts. I am on lovenox as preventive measure of 60mg.  I am ok with it if it helps.  I am just starting to get black & blues....it's not fun.
Just think of the positive.

What would make your Dr test Vitamin K? After googling, I wonder what my level would be since I really don't eat greens.
I did see another post you wrote about the lovenox.  I would consult a hemotolgist.  In my situation with MTHFR the 3 RE's are telling me not to take it.  I also went to a perintolgist who also said not to.   The hemotolgist wanted me to take throught out pregnancy.
I am having transfer done this weekend.  I am hoping I get pregnant & all be well.
