How Long Should Lonopin Shots Be Taken During Pregnancy?

I have 2 failed ivf last year( 1st cycle was negative and 2nd cycle we had to terminate as there no heartbeat) I am on my 3rd cycle and transferred 3day embryos yesterday. Dr has asked to start with Lonopin injections along with progesterone injections. They advised me if the result is positive after 2 weeks I need to take for 5 months. I am worried as they are painful and what if the baby stops growing once I stop taking Lonopin. Is there are substitute for this injections and when can I stop? Please help!

Hi I think you can take injection lonopin if your doctor suspects involvement of autoimmune component in you leading to miscarriage. Talk to your doctor regarding this. Generally lonopin is given to decrease the risk of miscarriages if one is having repeated miscarriages and APLA test or anti TPO antibody test is positive. You can get these tests done. Hope it helps. You can continue lonopin till 34 to 36 weeks of pregnancy.
