Well, in your plan there are directions to switch over to pregnancy DHA supps or you can continue with Fish oil at a lower dos (which you did). Since the bleeding is going on we need to reduce further to give your blood clotting factors a chance to catch up to themselves. Let's give it an extra day between and then once it clears up we can switch to a lower dose fish oil or pregnancy DHA.

I will pick up a DHA :agree: thank you atomic :)

So glad this ended up positive, True!! Praying it continues this way!!

So glad to hear this good news True!

Just seeing this now True! So glad everything seems to be ok and hopefully the spotting and bleeding is gone for good soon.

That is fine, but now I want you to skip 2 days between the fish oil and I would prefer if you switch from fish oil to a pregnancy DHA supp but do this gradually - I do not want you to be taking MORE blood thinners than you are now. We need to switch to the pregnancy DHA over time whilst lowering overall the amount of blood thinners you are on. So for now lower fish oil to every 2 days. When you ahve a chance (not an emergency, just whne you get the time), get some pregnancy DHA like Enfamil Expecta, and after about another week on just fish oil start alternating them plus adding in one more DHA. THe pregnancy DHA's will have about 250 mg in them so we will do this slowly because we don't want your blood to suddenly get too "clotty" either. Eventually I want you off fish oil and on the lower dose of DHA 5x a week. This will still be less blood thinners than you were taking.

So like this (and this is just an example, this is a more or less thing and doesn't need to be followed exactly):

Tuesday Take Fish oil
W - nothing
Th = nothing
Fri - Fish oil
Sa - nothing
Su - nothing
Mon - DHA
Tues - nothing
Wed Fish oil
Thu. - nothing
Fri - DHA
Sat. DHA
Sun nothing
Mon DHA
Tues nothing
Wed. Fish oil (and then drop it)
Thurs nothing

And then just continue on with just DHA skipping 2 days a week (like W and Su)

Glad everything turned out alright true

Whew! I was holding my breath reading this! Thanks for updating :)

Wow True, just saw this now! So glad everything is ok now & very, very sorry you had to worry like that!

Atomic if you see this can you advise please :)
I've weaned out the fish oil - im still having issues with bleeding and I think it will be ongoing for a while longer. All is good with baby. I got a pregnancy DHA (Nordic) it recommends 2 a day. Will I start with 1? Do I start taking every day or gradually increase to everyday over a few weeks?

Thank you :)

Also - the DHA has added vitamin D so do I drop vitamin D once I'm taking the DHA daily?

Take one every other day to start with and see how it goes.

How much Vit. D total?? If you're taking 1000 you can safely add in another 400, no harm in that.
