Should skip BCP when doing IVF if having clotting issue???

As BCP causes blood to clot more, should immune patients (with clotting issues) skip BCP when doing IVF?

Any advice is appreciated very much!

Hope,
That's a good question. I would ask your RE/hematologist. I have ACA and my hematologist told me as long as I have elevated anti-bodies I should not take bcp. I have taken them before knowing I had this issue with no clotting problems, but I hate taking them so it doesn't hurt my feelings. I think it depends and would follow the advice of the doctor who is treating you for the clotting issue. Good luck!
