Consult a Doctor: The risk and benefit of utilizing a blood thinner such as lovenox (enoxaparin) with a history of thromboembolic disease such as PE with an ongoing issue placenta previa that can cause bleeding needs to be discussed with your physician. Both of these can be potential life threatening events and the benefits and the risks of both taking as well as not taking lvoenox need to be explored with your doctor
