my doctor said that i could take it with lovenox, but i am currently off of it right now. ive just been taking an 81 mg aspirin a day and folic acid.
Why are you taking Lovenox?
Omega 3 help reduce the likelyhood of blood clots....I would ask the doctor is there are any risks with taking Omega 3 supplements and lovenox at the same time. I do know that Omega 3 does help reduce blood clots so you probably would be better off with one blood thinner instead of two. Of course, I would go the natural route and just take the Omega 3 and not the Lovenox BUT I'm not a doctor and I don't really know your health history. But I'd rather go natural and see what happens.
Please ask before taking both at the same time, sometimes it is not recommended. And please ask your doctor of anything that you do.
Omega 3 is great stuff and it helps with inflametion (for lupus) and skin and blood, its just overall good but I'm affraid how it will interact with that medicine.
Who knows, maybe this will be a good one :)
Hang in there sweetie! And I'm sure this is really hard for you and although I haven't been through 5 m/c I did go through 2 and I know how hard it is to be excited because you are nervous of the same thing happening again. I truly wish you the best and hope this little one sticks for you!! Keep us posted and try to stay positive.
i did start taking the omega 3 on friday oddly enough. i decided to starting taking it after you told me all of the benefits it has for people with lupus. my doctor said that it couldnt hurt to go on it, and that a lot of people have had sucess with it.
i wish i wouldnt have thrown that test away now! im gonna give it a couple more days and see what happens. i had some prenatals left and i take folic acid every day. looks like i need to go back on my lovenox shots!
Laura, I remember how much you wanted a baby...I know it could be a wrong time for you but every pregnancy is a blessing....please relax and wait for some time to see how this pregnancy progresses and don't be upset! Maybe now is going to be your time and you finally get the baby you wanted?! Just wait it out and I hope that it works for you!
I think its great, a pregnancy is a great possibility, your chances of having a baby to term are higher than your chances of having another miscarriage, just think positive.
HOWEVER- Please start taking the prenatal vitamins as soon as possible and also take one Omega 3 (fish oil) capsule every day with your pre-natal vitamins, it can help prevent miscarriages, you can read about it on my journal.
Take care, and I know you are nervous, worried, etc. But its there for a reason :)
