Melk - I am very sorry about the loss of your son Kobi. My DH and I lost our first child, Caitlyn, at 25w3d. I have Factor V Leiden and the heterozygous type too. I was told initially (by someone who in retrospect I should have ignored ) that it should not increase my chance of stillbirth or pregnancy loss. But it did seem to for us. We had a number of miscarriages prior to Caitlyn and then her stillbirth.

I was treated with aspirin and clexane for the pregnancy of our DS until I became allergic to clexane (an EXTREMELY rare allergy ) and continued through the pregnancy on aspirin alone. Aspirin seems to be beneficial for the placental implantation and clot prevention, the clexane is more for the maternal risks although some of the research does indicate it has anti-inflammatory / immunosuppressive properties which my also be of use to those of us with complicated histories. Our DD was also successfully achieved with aspirin alone. I am hoping for the same outcome with this current pregnancy.

If you have any questions I am more than happy to try to answer them for you.

Welcome to BB albeit in the worst of circumstances.
