Hi everyone, it has been a while but I now feel like I am in a complete downward spiral. I'm currently undergoing my fifth round of IVF. Last month, after my fourth collection, I had a weird sensation in my leg. Not sore, just a weird feeling. After my.collection I was on Hibor injections as I previously have had DVT, 23 years ago. My usual injections, clexane, weren't available so I was put on Hibor.
Anyway, fast forward two weeks and I have started my next cycle of IVF. I still have this weird feeling in my.leg and I talk to my doctor. Knowing I'm highly anxious anyway, he sends me for a d dimer blood test to put my mind at ease. Except the result came back slightly elevated. The range for negative is less than 0.5 and mine was 0.9. D dimer can be raised due to several other issues also.
I'm now freaking out. It's all I can think about. I'm focusing on my leg and feeling the sensations all the time. I'm petrified I have another DVT. I don't even know why I'm writing this.
I've googled different ranges and a slight increase can be caused by infection or pregnancy....has the IVF drugs played a part too? I've no idea. I just know I'm really frightened at the moment.
