Does clexane affect your periods
Does clexane affect your periods
Brief Answer:
Not likely to delay the periods.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Clexane can slightly increase the bleeding during the periods. It is not likely to affect the duration of the cycle or delay the periods. The delay in periods can be related to stress, anxiety, dietary changes or excessive exercise. It is best to test your urine for pregnancy to rule out the commonest cause of delayed periods.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Test was only slightly positive but I'm 3 days late I'm worried about this all as I had a stillborn and found out I have fvl, am i ok to still go ahead with the ct scan that I'm booked in for next week
Brief Answer:
Repeat pregnancy test after few days.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If the test is slightly positive then chances of pregnancy are there. Do a repeat test after a few days with early morning sample of urine. Avoid going for a CT scan as the radiations can harm your baby.
Hope my answer is helpful.
