high risk due to clotting history?

[ladylizlegend]

I FINALLY had my confirmation visit yesterday. When I heard the heartbeat, my bad day was completely forgotten. When I saw it, it was even better.

I'm 9wk2d today, the babys heartbeat was 180 and everything looks healthy and normal.

I do have a question though. Are any of you high risk pregnancies due to a high blood clotting risk (I had multiple bilateral PE in May of last year)? How is your pregnancy coming along? If you are on medicaid for pregnancy, are your heparin/lovenox shots covered by it?

I'm worried I won't be able to afford my medication, as my BcBs considers it a specialty drug with a copay of $100 a month!

Any input is appreciated!

Im also in the same situation.......im 10wks 6days. Last week i went to the doctor and they put me on lovenox. I had a past history of clotts. PE to be exact . Im super excited because my baby heartbeat was 180. And the doctor said everything was good. Im excited for you also. Just continue to take your medication and everything will be ok. GOOD LUCK!!!

I'm hoping that mine will cover my shots also. $3 is a lot better than $100!

Im on Lovenox due to the fact that I've had blood clots in both of my lungs in the past.  Everything is great.  Im currently using medicaid and I pay only $3 as a copay. I get 36 shots at a time so my supply lasts a lil over a month.

I've had history of PE's.  I'm also on Lovenox shots and my doctor has me taking a baby asprin once a day too. I started shots around week 12. I have Kaiser health coverage and my copay for my shots are $30. I just hit the 20 week mark today and so far everything is going well. Good luck and congratulations!
