Julie,

Heparin has helped to get MANY SA babies here.  Dr. Beer in Chicago pioneered this process.  He passed away several years ago, but his following and practice is huge.  It is for antibodies and to keep clotting from happening so it doesn't happen in the cord or elsewhere and stop the babies life flow.  There is much about this on our site and also just google the topic.  I have never known anyone to have issues with it.  Dr. K and T use it a great deal.

Take care, Marcia

Subject: [SHARE Atlanta Subsequent Pregnancy Support] Anyone have info on blood clotting and taking Heparin for a friend of mine......

A friend of mine in Houston has had 2 miscarriages and while they were consulting with an RE she ended up pregnant. They advised her to take Heparin which has her scared. I tested fine on blood clotting and only took baby aspirin as a precaution so not an expert on this. Was wondering if anyone had any experience, advice or websites to direct them to so they could arm themselves with questions and help with any concerns.

So how is everyone doing these days.......

Thanks!

Julie
