Newbie with factor v Leiden
Hi there just joined and also popped my first post into the Introduction forum. I am 40 and have factor v Leiden. I live in London and will be starting to ttc first baby in a couple of weeks. I had the mirena coil removed just over a month ago and read it was best to wait at least one period to let the womb lining thicken. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I did have regular periods whilst using coil and had a period a couple of days after withdrawl bleeding stopped. So praying I get my nxt later nxt wk. I am also curious if anyone else here as factor v Leiden? Cheerio for now x

Welcome and good luck.xx
Mrs Broodypops congrats on your recent wedding and good luck with ttc. I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you!
Baby on board I am sorry to hear about your losses and I wish you all the best for the BFP. I have not heard of your double mutation, have you had it all your life? Is baby aspirin all you take? The doc as not told me to take it. They just said as soon as I fall pregnant I will start on heparin right up to 6 wks after birth.
Mrs*me* it made me laugh that you couldn't wait til your nxt cycle, I know the feeling! It's all very exciting! Factor v Leiden is a blood clotting disorder that means I am about 8 times more likely to clot than someone without it. So far I have had a dvt in each leg, a clot in my arm and 2 clots on seperate occassions in my lung.
It as been great hearing from you all x
I truly wish you all the best in ttc and do hope you keep me posted. Don't forget I am here as well if you want to discuss any sticky blood related issues x
