Very thankful for modern medicine for keeping her safe! How far along are you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiphospholipid-syndrome#post-2562292 Sun, 05 Jun 2016 21:05:13 +0000 Sunycaro 2562292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is an older post but I wanted to hear what happened. I have mild APS and I'm on low dose aspirin. I also have Sjögren's syndrome and tested positive for the anti-ssa antibody. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-progesterone-shots-to-prevent-preterm-birthlabor#post-2301893 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 08:37:06 +0000 DesertDreams88 2301893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend had a nurse come to her house every week for it, too. Good thing too, her husband travels for work and she had toddler twins! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-progesterone-shots-to-prevent-preterm-birthlabor#post-2301818 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 07:36:17 +0000 pinkb 2301818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH did mine. But it caused a lot of anxiety for both of us. He didn't think it would bother him, but once it was a reality he was a bit uncomfortable with it. I would have much preferred a nurse to come by! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-progesterone-shots-to-prevent-preterm-birthlabor#post-2301752 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 06:13:10 +0000 Ginabean3 2301752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was assigned a nurse who gave me the shot every week at her office...it did not cost any extra for me to do this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-progesterone-shots-to-prevent-preterm-birthlabor#post-2301749 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 06:00:39 +0000 JennyG 2301749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go into the office every week for my shot. I highly recommend them up on the hip as those seemed to hurt the least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-progesterone-shots-to-prevent-preterm-birthlabor#post-2301747 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 05:59:52 +0000 JennyG 2301747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go into the office every week for my shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-progesterone-shots-to-prevent-preterm-birthlabor#post-2300965 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 13:47:40 +0000 LAZB 2300965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A nurse came and gave it to me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-progesterone-shots-to-prevent-preterm-birthlabor#post-2300910 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 13:10:53 +0000 BandDmommy 2300910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: I was prepared for it to be a struggle with insurance but the fact they are being so helpful is really nice. When I was pregnant with DD they denied the request and I used progesterone suppositories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-progesterone-shots-to-prevent-preterm-birthlabor#post-2300906 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 13:09:25 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2300906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow! I went to my ob office and had them do it. DH said he would but I didn't want him to. I had to pay for the nurse visits at the office but it was worth it to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/for-those-that-had-progesterone-shots-to-prevent-preterm-birthlabor#post-2300904 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 13:07:59 +0000 BandDmommy 2300904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For those that had progesterone shots starting at 15 weeks to prevent preterm birth/labor, who gave you the shot? I was planning on having DH give me the shot? However, I got note from my insurance company that they approved a nurse to come to my house every week to give me the shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiphospholipid-syndrome#post-2144877 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 11:33:27 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2144877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sending you lots of hugs and love.

Completely unfair. I know nothing about this, but you will be in my thoughts and prayers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiphospholipid-syndrome#post-2144745 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 10:22:32 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2144745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A good friend of ours had this I believe. They discovered a DVT when she was in the hospital delivering her first. It was super scary for a couple weeks. The following pregnancy I know she was doing the daily injections and monitored by a high risk doctor and recently delivered their second. I'm sorry I don't know more of the details but I'll be thinking of you! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiphospholipid-syndrome#post-2144619 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 09:22:11 +0000 birdofafeather 2144619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sending you love and hugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiphospholipid-syndrome#post-2144453 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 08:03:29 +0000 LulaBee 2144453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: That's a beautiful song, thank you for sharing. This does feel very isolating... and confusing and hard and unfair. For now, I'm just going to wait and see. I've been having some spotting (which I know can be common in first trimester) and hopefully I'll know more/feel more sure about things when I see my new OB next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiphospholipid-syndrome#post-2143772 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:26:36 +0000 edelweiss 2143772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just wanted to send you hugs and support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiphospholipid-syndrome#post-2143740 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:07:49 +0000 Torchwood 2143740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Random, but this song always reminds me of us loss mommas. Especially the "this one's for the faithless, the experts at the fall, come on friends get up now, you're not alone at all." It feels so lonely, going through these huge scary, devastating things over and over. And in the end, we're just strangers on the internet. But know that we're all here for you, and my thoughts are definitely with you. If there's anything at all I can do, don't hesitate to ask.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEFxfVyz4Uc" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEFxfVyz4Uc</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiphospholipid-syndrome#post-2143635 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 13:22:09 +0000 LulaBee 2143635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: I love you for saying this. Thank you. And I hope you are doing really well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiphospholipid-syndrome#post-2143623 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 13:15:50 +0000 Torchwood 2143623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, this just makes me so ANGRY. It's one thing to know that life isn't fair. It's another to see it in reality. After everything, you deserve so much better than this! Hugs.</p> <p>I'll be honest, I don't think I could go forward with another pregnancy with something like that hanging over my head. I would be too scared to. Which is NOT to say I'm saying I think you shouldn't do it. Just that I don't think I personally would be able to face that. I feel like we always manage to beat the odds in the worst possible way. </p> <p>That being said, I really hope you're able to find some peace with however you choose to go. I'm sure there are many, many stories of successful pregnancies with this, and I would really love to hear in a few months that you're one of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiphospholipid-syndrome#post-2143429 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 11:44:36 +0000 LulaBee 2143429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: That's encouraging, thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiphospholipid-syndrome#post-2143422 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 11:39:13 +0000 LAZB 2143422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also not familiar, but I wanted to say congratulations on your rainbow baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/antiphospholipid-syndrome#post-2143405 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 11:29:15 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2143405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was never diagnosed with the syndrome, but I have an elevated level of the antibodies. I had at least 2 miscarriages before starting Lovenox and getting pregnant with my son. My pregnancy was easy and uncomplicated. I hope yours is the same!

I started Lovenox shots 1x a day, and am taking a baby aspirin to reduce clotting risks. I had a miscarriage in March 2014 and went into early labor with my son in November 2014 where he died in childbirth. I had a very large subchorionic hematoma with my son. I've googled APS and pregnancy and am now terrified to continue with this pregnancy. I'm so scared of losing another baby, and of something horrible happening to me (I have a 2.5 year old daughter who needs her mama).</p> <p>Any positive APS stories would be appreciated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764897 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:51:20 +0000 winniebee 1764897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not at this point since even though I had preterm labor last time, I made it to term. They're going to monitor my cervical length throughout the rest of my pregnancy and if it shortens will do progesterone shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764862 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:36:16 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1764862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MarieJ: oh ok, gotcha. I guess we just assumed that we are going to hit our out of pocket maximum so i really havent really asked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-on-progesterone-for-preterm-labor#post-1764815 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 12:22:26 +0000 MarieJ 1764815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: because I'm on a 90/10 coverage after my deductible is met, so I'm responsible for 10%. </p>
