Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Hi Sharyn. Congrats on getting your iron levels up. May I ask if the blood clot is wls or pg related? WlsMomma > I havent given an update in a while so I thought I would really fast. > > My blood clot is doing better. I have about 10more days and I switch from the lovenox to the heprin injections. I'm excited about that because I know it's getting close. I was told they could induce me as early as Sept 19th. I cant believe how fast this pregnancy has gone by. > > Oh the really great news is my iron levels have gone up. I'm so happy about this.For that last 2 sets of labs it keeps increasing. I was actually prepared for the iron infusions. Now I'm really trying to get the calcium up also. It's hard because the heprin steals it from me, trying to time it not close to my iron and then of course not being able to absorb very well is like a triple whammy. So if your severely anemic dont give up and take those supplements they really do work. > > Hope everyone is doing well... > Sharyn and baby Adam > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Sharyn, I would wait to do anything permanent. You don't sound like you are ready for that. I had a 5 year IUD and it was great. I used to like to mess with my pills in order to get rid of A/F when I needed too but after a few months with the IUD A/F would only last 2-3 days and was very light. I chose the 5 year IUD because it had no copper in it and I was planning to try to conceive within 5 years. I also liked the IUD because it has the hormone localized and you are good to go as soon as they remove it. I had mine removed on August 19th and we are currently TTC. I have a 10 year old and we are ready to try for number two. I know that I only want two kids so I will probably have my tubes tied after this pregnancy but I am ready for that. You should wait until you are ready. Also with the IUD as soon as they take it out they can start monitoring you for your high risk issues. I think the IUD is a good thing. My Aunt had one in the 70s and had a lot of problems but these are different and I am sure they learned from their mistakes. My OB/GYN loves them.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hi again, Sharyn, sorry for the delayed response. Don't have an answer regarding b/c, for years I've been 'au natural'. Back in the day, I strongly disliked the pill's side effects. So it's not an option for me either. WlsMomma Hi Sharyn.
