TMI: Lovenox and Bowel Movement
I went to the doctor last Wednesday because I thought I was pregnant. He confirmed my suspisions. He put me on Lovenox injections. I had to fight with the insurance company to get them to pay for them, but finally on Friday, I was able to get the injections. The pharmacy only had four so that is all I was able to get and I went back on Monday to get the rest. I had a friend who is a nurse come to the house on Friday to show me how to do the injections because my husband and I disagreed. We followed his instructions. When I went to pick the other injections up yesterday, I found that my friend showed me wrong. So I am not sure how much of the medicine I actually got in those three days. Last night we followed the directions on the box and I feel certain we did it correctly. It made so much more sense than what we were doing.
This is not where my concern lies. I went to the restroom about an hour ago. As most pregnant people do, I looked at the tp when I wiped after urinating. NO BLOOD! Relief as always, but when I looked in the commode it was very red. When I wiped from a bowel movement, there was blood. I went back to the restroom later to check and there is just a faint line of blood now and I know it is from my rectum. I wiped both places seperately and with different tissue. I have called the doctor. I am still waiting to hear back. Is this normal? Blood and pregnancy makes me nervous.
I apologize for all the information. I just wanted to be accurate to maybe entail a more accurate answer. I hope I didn't gross anyone out.

Once I had lovenox started everything that did bleed, bled more. Its the thinning effect of the medicine. I had to be careful once I started the blood thinners cause anything can make you bleed a lot. So just remember that part. I got to where on heparin at the end I would not cut veggies or anything. Just remember also to write down in your wallet that you are on lovenox and your dosage and all. I know when I would get blood taken even I had to warn them I was on blood thinners cause I would bleed a lot even for that. :)
