Ask your doc...: Its best to ask your doc for sure. You will be out of the first trimester by April, so its probably safe. Clexane injections (low-molecular weight Heparin) are a good treatment for the Factor 5 Leiden mutation if you've had prior miscarriages. Usually you need to be on them through your pregnancy. Make sure you are able to take enough with you so you don't miss any daily doses. Best wishes!
