Hi all,

My HA seems to have been under control for a good few weeks now... been exercising etc., with only the occasional "am I gonna die??!" thought.

However, I've hit an spot of anxiety...

I'm having fertility treatment - having some frozen embryos put back later this month. We are desperate for it to work.

As I've had several miscarriages and ectopics in the past they want to put me on the blood thinner clexane (40mg) and aspirin. I've bought the medications and I'll have to start injecting the clexane on Thursday. I had a blood clotting screen for blood clotting problems a few months ago and my first results suggested that something could be wrong but a re-test was fine.

The thing is I'm scared to have to start injecting myself.. I'm worried about bleeding to death. I know its unlikely and its a risk I'm prepared to take to have a baby, but I really want to get over this. Any tips/words of wisdom most welcome
