Starting Lovenox shots today!
| Wed, 07-18-2007 - 11:20am |
I'm seeing the perinatal specialist this afternoon to begin my Lovenox injections. Wish me luck! I am super nervous! I'm not too bad with needles but giving shots to myself may be a different story!
Other than bruising,


HI there!
Well it looks like my fellow lovenox junky has already given you some pointers!! I was also on lovenox from 5 weeks just like Kari and we both gave birth around the same time. Just like her I will say that I am 100% happy I gave myself a shot a day. I do suggest doing them around the same time everyday so that you get in a routine of doing it! They get easier with time!
Good luck today!
im also a "lovenox junkie" as Jenn put it lol :)
Ive been on it since CD5 of my IVF cycle. I give most of mine on my right since since for some reason my left is very sensitive! Sometimes you can formed little "Knots" under you skin if you do them in one spot so make sure you rotate areas.

Thanks for all the advice and the words of encouragement! It's great to hear your success stories. It reaffirms by belief that this is really worth the pain and hassle. I gave myself my first shot this morning and it wasn't so bad. It was sore for about 5 minutes afterward, but it didn't bleed and the shot itself didn't really hurt too bad. I haven't checked for bruising yet but I'm an easy bruiser anyway, so I'm expecting it.
Thanks a bunch and congrats/good luck to all!
