Long time lovenox users...
Has there been a change in the way it's made? I used to bruise TERRIBLY ... I'd get these gigantic dark purple blotches all over my stomach that some of the ladies here have been witness to   It was really pretty bad!
Well, I've been using lovenox for a over a month now and have barely bruised at all...It's a beautiful thing... (watch me jinx myself with this post.. just watch!!)
Has anyone else noticed that they're bruising less on it now?

For me..the same. The only thing that has made a difference is that I stopped icing the injection site before and after the injection. Since then, the brusiing has decreased about 80%. Enjoy it!!

Re: Long time lovenox users...
I haven't bruised this cycle yet but I never really bruised in the past either. Hopefully that continues for both of us!

I notice that I bruise less when I use the generic brand. I still bruise pretty bad on the name brand.

YES! I take the generic ones!
In the past, I tried the generic and the name brand because I was bruising so bad that I hoped it would make a difference but it didn't.

The ones I have...automatically retract the needle when you get to a certain point.

I never bruised when I was taking it. The only time I did was when a nurse would jab me with the needle.
