so some of my bloodwork reults are back. and i do have factor  V Leiden. waiting to get all results back before we speak with the doctor which will be next thursday when i get my saline ultrasoud. but anyone else have this?? do they put you on baby aspirin or anything?? i believe my younger sister is taking baby aspirin for her FVL. i'm hoping this is the answer and possibly the causes of our 2 miscarriages. i been trying to search info, but i dont want it to freak me out too much!! thanks ladies.
 
p.s. sorry can't get it off bold...don't mean to be yelling.

    I don't have that particular clotting disorder, but it's treated in the same way as what I have.  You will probably be put on baby aspirin daily, and then once you get KU you will most likely have to give yourself shots of lovenox, a blood thinner.  My MFM believes my clotting disorder was to blame for my losses.  Hope this helps!

    I am also hetero for Factor V. Everything I've read and been told by doctors is that it is not a big deal, apparently about 40% of the caucasian population has it. However, given my history, my MFM has recommended Lovenox for this pregnancy, and a baby aspirin every day. My Lovenox dose is pretty small, .4 ml.

    Due to your history of m/c, I would not be surprised if they do the same for you, just to be safe. There are a lot of ladies on PgAL and High Risk that do Lovenox, and so far it's been ok for me. GL!

    I do and just figured itout this week. one of my 2 genes are abnormal so that means i have an increased risk to clot, but not as much as if you have 2 abnormal genes. SO when my hormones drop to 0 I will start taking 1 baby asprin a day. I also have 1 abnormal gene for MTHFR so I will be ona special pretanal as well.

    To me this was a small relief something easy to "fix" and a sort of answer to why I had 2 MC.

    Hope you can find the same "comfort".
