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.

I have some good news this morning. I went to get clexane and progesterone from epu, because my gp is not agreeing to prescribe progesterone, and they scanned me. All looks ok for now 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Yes, weather changes really affect me, I get colds easily sometimes. This one is more like a flu but I'm on the mend now, I've not bothered to do a covid test, I don't think I even have any.

If you can try to stop googling it might help, I've stopped and feel much better. Easier said than done i know. If you can make it another week emotionally then that's better for you. I've not done HCG tests, are they measuring the hormone levels? My clinic is sometimes rubbish and said there's no need so I didn't bother. There are other things they won't agree with which is pissing me off a bit.

In terms of symptoms it might just be too early, and then some women sail through it with little or no symptoms. Do you have any food aversions?

Which clinic are you with?

No food aversions. I had this one day when I was completely exhausted and had a lot of joint pain and body ache (almost like really bad flu), and then that was it.

I am with kings.

I also feel like I might have nausea but I'm fairly sure in my case it's anxiety. Sorry to hear about the cold/flu, any chance it could be COVID? Hope the symptoms ease up, weather changes in the UK are not for me.
I'm 6+0 today. I think I'll start expecting heartbeat. If there is no heartbeat and I'm in the grey zone waiting for another scan, I'm afraid I'll breakdown. My scan is at 7 weeks. I just don't understand why I don't have symptoms. Have you ever done HCG tests? I wonder if they might help me. I don't know, I just can't understand how not having any symptoms can lead to a good outcome when I've had 3 losses and 1 success each with some symptoms. I've read so many horror stories.

I've read that you can inject into your thigh but please check with your doctor first.

Are you able to go for a scan at your local early pregnancy unit? This will put your mind at rest for a bit. I've learnt that we just can't control things, whatever is going on inside us is unknown and out of our control. It's not easy though so you have my sympathies. I felt like you at 6 weeks too, it's a horrible, horrible feeling.

I've had a horrible flu/cold so feel awful. I'm not sure if I have nausea or whether it's because I'm ill!

That's good to know. I was wondering if I was having a reaction, it doesn't seem like I am anyway, it's only when I poke the spot a day or two later.

I'm a mess today. I have had only 2 days of symptoms, on week 5+1 and dpo 9. Today I'm week 6+0. I honestly can't see how this will be ok...

Hey, I'm okay thanks. How are you? I'm not taking clexane at the moment but I did read on here that some women get bumps afterwards so it seems pretty common.

OP posts:
Lemonbalm8 · 03/07/2024 10:43

@Peaches1407 hope you're ok. I just noticed little bumps under where the needles went, do you have the same? It might just be my wobbly belly 🙈

I'm ok. I started getting really tired yesterday afternoon but to the point I couldn't get out of bed, with lots of joint pain and body ache. It was nice at first to have symptoms as I had none. But then I started worrying that it might be something immune related, I hope not as I'm not taking any immunosuppressants. I WFH but to be honest this week I've done nothing in terms of work or anything. Nausea I think can come in week 7.
I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

We start to worry about every single thing don't we, my mind goes to al sorts of places. My clinic has said to stop clexane and aspirin until the bleeding subsides. I've barely done any work this week either!! I don't even care. Hope you have a good weekend and best of luck xxx

It was such a relief, the amount of stress we are carrying in within us at this time is really bad. I've got a private scan next week with my clinic so hopefully they can measure the bleed.

I have no symptoms other than fatigue, no sickness nothing. My mum didn't have anything with her two pregnancies so maybe I've taken after her.

How are you feeling? It is such a scary time, distractions aren't really doing much

@Peaches1407 ah what a relief it must be to see a heartbeat. I did bleed with my son weeks 6-7, it can be normal around that time but how stressful. I am also on and off spotting but not bright red, so hoping it's ok. I'm only 5+2 today so very sure I'll hold off until 6+5. I'm so scared. Do you have any symptoms?
If they discovered the source of bleeding, as long as it's not very close to baby it should be ok. Can you book another scan next week?

Hey, I actually went for a scan today. My spotting is still there, and before I left for the scan I started bleeding and then crying in the uber...anyway I am 6 weeks 1 day and saw a heartbeat so you should be fine at 6+5.

I also have some blood in the uterus which I presume is a heamatoma so not sure what to do about that. I'm a bit nervous but aiming to rest and have scans to monitor it. I've emailed my clinic to see if I should.stop blood thinner

@Peaches1407 are you doing early scans? I booked mine 6+5 weeks but feel like maybe I should have later to be able to see heartbeat. I should be able to see heartbeat right?

Thank you, wishing you all the luck as well. I will have a look at health unlocked, sounds like there's a lot of support on there. I'm glad we are both on a protocol that appears to be working for women.

Ah, did you do a clotting panel? I'm so sorry to hear about your losses, I can't even imagine how hard that must have been.
This is my first pregnancy, and it's with a donor egg and my husbands sperm as I'm 44 and my periods were becoming very irregular due to DOR so we just decided to go down the donor egg route. I also had a partial septum which I've since had removed.

@Peaches1407 yes exactly I did a full range of tests, after my 3rd miscarriage, and lupus anticoagulant came high. I was supposed to start IVF with pgt in July as my AMH levels are near 1 pmol (so about to have dor). I was getting pregnant but miscarrying so there is also egg quality issue, I seem to be running out of time and to be honest IVF wasn't going to solve the issue as I would have responded very poorly but genetic testing was meant to reduce MC risk. Anyway, long story short, a lot seems to be riding on this for both of us 💚 I wish us all the luck in the world. Have you heard of health unlocked, probably another forum won't help all that much now but I found more people there who I identify with. Especially donor eggs, I know quite a few in 44-47 range who are pregnant now 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻quite a few are past 12 weeks now and they were also on blood thinners, progesterone and aspirin just to give it extra support.

Spotting hasn't completely stopped, it's very very little, hardly anything when I wipe so I hope it's going to stop completely. I don't know too much about MTFHR to be honest, have you had chemicals before? What were your indicators of blood clotting if you don't mind me asking?

Show quote history

I also had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday, it was barely there though. It seems to be on and off.

I also don't know much about MTFHR, I have heterozygous gene, so they prescribed folic acid high dose.
I had few losses at 5-7 weeks last year. My main indicator is lupus anticoagulant positive. That was positive quite a few times during the year, I tested with NHS and private, and both found it during different parts of the year (NHS was later as I was on waitlist). But talking to MC specialists, blood clotting usually causes MC later after week 7, so I don't know if it solves my issue. I'm hoping and praying for #2.

How about you?

It's great that spotting has stopped! For me it seems to be linked to the pessaries.
Ah I didn't realise you MTFHR is linked to clotting and not just foliate. It's good that they spotted it! I have multiple indicators of blood clotting, but apparently blood clotting more likely causes MCs a bit later, mine were all over by week 6, so I still don't have full answers I guess.

I haven't got any symptoms since I found out I'm pregnant, this is causing me some worry.
With clexane, did you have a blood clotting condition diagnosed?

Dr House is meant to be good! You don't want to stoop to my level of trashy telly, there's no going back after!

With symptoms it might be too early to have any. I've read that some women have little or no symptoms.

I have the homozygous MTFHR gene which I asked to be tested for. That's why I have to take clexane but some clinics just give it to you I think.

It's stopped for now thank god. The clinic said it might be the pessaries or a subchorionic haematoma! They said the same as the hospital, to go to A&E if the bleeding gets worse. I don't have any nausea yet or get mild cramps from time to time.
