Q: Did the fact that I was on a blood thinner suppress HELLP? My severe case of HELLP Syndrome hit 2 days after ceasing the blood thinner, lovenox, that I had put myself on at the advice of a 2 experts.
2 days after ceasing lovenox injections (at the advice of my OB), 1 week before the medically necessary, scheduled c-section, I nearly died. HELLP gave me a stroke, ruptured my liver and put me in a 3 week long coma.
None of the experts I consulted thought that I needed to be on the blood thinner. However, after losing 3 pregnancies I decided to take no chances. No one is willing to go on record to say that going off the blood thinner triggered HELLP but I believe that it did.
Any informed feedback is welcome. Thanks!
