I was on Lovenox for a week. I was allowed to go home, and my mother gave me the shots. My pulmonary specialist says that my levels are therapeutic, so I can stop taking the shots.

Used Lovenox injections for 10 days. I hated needles! Had my boyfriend's mother do it. Had to be at her house at 9pm every night and she came to my work at 9am in the morning!
