I'm really not a good person to bring hope at the moment. This post sounds so very much like my experience and pops up on Caitlyn's due date (freaky?? karma?? even the name of the baby!!) Maybe seeing it just helps me on this particular day. At least I know what I am feeling is normal.

Jen - I too have FVL and (if I manage to get pregnant again) I'll be starting on aspirin and clexane from about 8-12 weeks. I am not sure if it will work, but if it gives me the chance of getting a healthy baby at the end then I am going to give it a try.

Have you seen a haematologist?? I haven't but my OB is very comfortable in managing my FVL in the next pregnancy. I have heterozygous FVL which really means I have the gene from one parent rather than two (which would be homozygous). Homozygous FVL seems to give more complications and heterozygous usually doesn't pose any problems (my Mum had no problems with pregnancy but did get a DVT post C/S). HOWEVER I am not uncomplicated, thus the need to treat me next time.

There are some beautiful stories of hope and the ladies here are gorgeous too (a better support group you could not wish for). I hope you find what you are looking for and rapidly get your hearts desire.
