I am currently 22 weeks pregnant and have tested APLA positive. I have been prescribed Enoxaparin 40 mg injections daily. I have attached my recent APTT and PT reports for your review. Could you please let me know if the current dose of Enoxaparin (40 mg) is appropriate for my condition, or if any adjustments are needed?

Enoxaparin 40mg is standard prophylactic dose in APLA during pregnancy. If APTT/PT and D dimer are normal, and no clotting history, it is generally adequate. Consult high risk OB for individual advice.
