A member asked:
I have had a pe soon after my second child . do i have any alternative to lovenox (enoxaparin) if i was to get pregnant again? anything in a pill form?

No: Currently the only safe blood thinners for pregnancy use, for a history of a pe, is injectable.

Not really: There are some anticoagulants like Heparin that can be used but you have to protect yourself. It is extremely important you use something to prevent this from reoccurring.
