Lovenox & other meds after E/R - Infertility Message Board

marie32 · 10-13-2007, 06:35 AM

Good morning all,

I had my first E/R yesterday. I am curious what meds others are on/were put on after their E/R. I am on:
Prometrium cap (200 mg) intravaginal 2x/daily
Estrace (estradiol) 2MG 2x/daily
Doxycycline 100mg 2x/daily
Lovenox (injection)

I thought my RE had said that the Lovenox was to help prevent OHSS, but when I searched this board the only threads on it had to do with preventing blood clots that can cause miscarriages. Since I have never been pregnant and therefore no history of that as a problem, I wondering if it does help with OHHS as well or if I am on it "just in case." Thoughts?

Thanks,
Marie

Hi Marie,

I can't remember exactly what I was taking at the time of my e/r, but I am almost certain lovenox wasn't one of the meds. Sorry I can't help you more. Can't wait to read your fert report in your other tread!!

Hi Marie! Like Holly, I also was not prescribed lovenox. I continued with my doxycycline, took a medrol a few times, and of course I now continue to take the progesterone injections each evening. Wish I could help you more!

Thanks gals! I will ask my RE's office on Monday why I am on it, and then let you know. They gave me a month's prescription. It is the most painful injection so far.

Hi Marie, I have heard of levonex being used I think it helps with water retention too. I also had to take medrol, doxy for 5 days, Prog injections, prog suppositories and estadoil sticker on my belly, baby aspirin and my prenatal of couse. I don't know what med they put in my iV for oHHS. I hope the injections get better perhaps you can use numbing cream on the area before hand?
