So jus got a phone call from dr saying my blood test results for blood clots came bk at 0.8 n they should only be upto 0.5 n I need a scan on legs she has had to pass my details on to the district nurse team n wait for them to phone me to instruct me on what to do she has made it seem pretty urgent as she said any pains in my legs I have to go straight in but yet I've got to wait for these to phone me does anyone have any similar experience of how long I'll be waiting or what I should do as I'm freaking out x

Yeah it doesn't affect your delivery time at all. Once they get it sorted and your on meds u just carry on as normal through the pregnancy

I wouldn't stress yet the d dimer is notorious for being out when your pregnant as I found out post delivery when I had leg and chest pain and ended up having a vq scan looking for clots. Someone will ring u today and discuss but really they should do an ultrasound to confirm clot placement. Then u will be given a higher dose of a blood thinner eventually going doing to a preventative dose. But don't stress many who have slightly elevated results are later found not to have a clot. But u will need to be careful. Not to have a massage of your legs and not to cross your legs and to stay mobile and not allow the blood to pool too long on car journeys etc. I have a condition called factor v Leiden so this has become my life for years now anyway.

Yeah she seems quite concerned im not on any meds as only went in Monday to get them looked at and she ran the blood test and gave me compression stockings just wondering how long it will be before someone phones me and tells me what to do I've got anxiety as well so I'm kind of freaking out now worrying x

What test was that a d dimer? Are u on any meds? You may be required to inject fragmin or similar daily for the rest of your pregnancy and up to 6 weeks post partum like me. I've done it in my last two pregnancies. And possibly aspirin too but I had to stop mine due to stomach issues weeks back
