Suggest Treatment For Phospholipid Problem During Pregnancy

Hi, I am Pradeepa Ramachandran (Age: 23) and living in Bangalore. I have irregular periods from the time of attending my age (first period @ age 11). I got married on Dec-2008 and husband age is 29. We tried for baby from first day onwards, but couldn t get it and we went for consulation with Gyn (Appollo Hospital) and undergone 6months normal way of getting pregnant. After that, we have undergone first IUI on 16th Aug 2010 and it was successful but got aborted on 07th Oct. I have undergone D&C and found in the diagnosis that I have Phopholipid IgM Positive (Range is 17.55 U/ml) and waited couple of months to try. Now, I am again conceived and now my HCG level is 2100 and doctor suggested to Fragmin 2500 Units every day to overcome Phospholipid problem and avoid abortion. This time it is a normal pregnancy. We didn t undergone any injection or IUI. We required your valuable suggestion on to avoid abortion and have a healthy baby. Regards Pradeepa.

Hi Pradeepa,

It looks like they have diagnosed you with anti phospholipid syndrome after your 1 miscarriage and now you have been started on Fragmin(heparin )injections to treat it.
That is the correct way to go about when one has anti phospholipid syndrome.
The other positive thing is you have conceived naturally and also that you are just 23 years, all these make it very likely that you will carry on this pregnancy to term.
you could also consider adding Ecosprin 150 mg daily to decrease the chances of miscarriage and preterm birth.
Please stay positive and have a regular follow up with ultrasound scans and doppler to know exactly the growth and condition of the baby.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
