Clexane Drop Wastage

108 replies

Peaches1407 · 18/06/2024 19:46

Hi there,

I am taking Clexane at the moment, once I've administered a dose in my stomach I press the top to close the needle and a little squirt comes out, is this bad? Does it mean I'm not getting the full dosage? Not sure why it happens, please can someone shed some light. Many thanks.

Hi there! I'm so so sorry for my late reply. It's been an eventful few weeks. We've welcomed our daughter! She came at 37 weeks due to me getting preclampsia, she's been on SCBU for just over a week to get her weight up and learn how to feed because she was only 4lbs when born. We hope to be going home today. How are you doing?

Hope you're well @Peaches1407

@Peaches1407 I'm good thanks. I am 31+3 weeks, I feel unprepared. I remember you mentioned you're based in London, if you want to keep in touch let me know (no pressure). Hope you're doing ok!

I'm okay but will probably feel better after 20 week scan. I thought I'd start enjoying earlier but just a bag of nerves, not sure when I'll be really fully believing it's going to happen, maybe 36 weeks? I had bleeding, quite a bit. Hoping it's not signalling bad news. Glad your NIPT and NHS results were good 👍🏻

Oh no sorry to hear that. Are you able to have pelvic rest as much as possible?

Try not to worry, it's easy for me to say but try to get through this period as calmly as possible. I know what you mean, it's such a shame that we can't believe in this or enjoy this period. Please try to keep some belief that this will happen for you xxx

Oh no please do check in! Hope you're okay? Do you mind me asking what happened? The NIPT was fine, I had the NHS one as well. Xx

I'm ok @Peaches1407 I've had some scares last week, just trying to keep positive. Sorry I'm checking in, don't feel like you need to update or anything. Hope your NIPT was ok.

Hey, I'm good. How are you doing? Hope all is going well. Not much to update really, I'll be getting some extra scans for my cervix due to having a septum removed so I hope that's all good.

Ah sorry to hear about your husbands results but kind of a blessing that you weren't aware. Glad your results are positive news!

What time do you take your pessaries? I was on 4 so cutting down is making me nervous

I just do one in morning and one at night. I really wouldn't worry about progesterone at this stage. Placenta will do most if not all the work.

Hope your scan went well. Whatever the result I'm glad I did it. Thanks for your advice.

How many pessaries are you on? I take 4 currently and the hospital have reduced that to 2 from tomorrow until 16 weeks. I'm paranoid that my body won't produce Progesterone due to my age. I wish I could just trust my body to do the job!

The relief is immense from the NIPT, I had a good scan and low risk results. Just a week ago I had some bad results from my husband's sperm results done before in May (why they delayed to tell us I don't know, but glad they did because it would have sent me spiralling), which is correlated with miscarriage. So getting these results eased my anxiety so much. Hope its all ok for you 🤞🏻

I take 2 each 400 mg since pregnancy test being positive, so it sounds all fine. They only recommend until 16 weeks for bleeding and previous MCs, and placenta takes over at 11-12 weeks, so I wouldn't worry at all.

Hey! Yes doing okay. Had my scan today and baby looked good, hope the blood test comes out okay.

How are you doing? Was your scan okay? Can I ask about Cyclogest, when are you stopping it? I'm supposed to be stopping clexane and Provgnova today and take two pessaries of cyclogest until 16 weeks. I'm terrified my body won't make hormones!

Hey! So happy the scan was good, hope you get the test results swiftly and it's all ok.
I am stopping cyclogest at week 16 and clexane/aspirin I have to take until 36 weeks due to blood clotting condition.

Yes accuracy.
Yes 3 of these.

I am not sure what you mean wood st. Birth company I went to is next to Marylebone/baker street, while the closest window to womb for me is in Croydon. Both equal distance but I went to the one that I felt most comfortable with for personal reasons.

Ah, I believe there is another Window to the Womb in Walthamstow which is Wood St.

Thank you, I did think about that but Wood St is out of my way a little. Did your scan test for DS, Edwards and Patau? I'll check other places in London and see if there are any recommended ones. What is the difference between this and the 12 week NHS scan, is it just the accuracy? Plus I guess it's earlier.

It is more expensive than window to womb which is about £360 for scan and blood test. My preference is really personal, just to let you know about the price difference.

I'm anxious these weeks, waiting for the dating scan and the test results. I don't think I can take any bad news.

I'm going to book the one you told me about - The Birth Company. Thanks for that, I'll do the usual ones that they cover. There are so many genetic disorders so you're right not to go down that rabbit hole. Hope your appt went well. Xx

Ah @Peaches1407 where are you booking?
At my booking, I was advised to not to sex chromosome tests, like checking for turners etc, as it has higher false positive rate, and they might completely wrongly ruin the rest of the pregnancy and even lead to having to do invasive test. So I decided to opt out and just got for the usual 3 trisomies.

Lemonbalm8 · 03/08/2024 18:32

@Peaches1407 I got the illumina nipt test x
