can I attempt IVF with Factor V Leiden?

can I attempt IVF with Factor V Leiden?

I would like to know if I am able to undergo IVF with the Factor V Leiden mutation? I was recently married to a man that has had a vasectomy. We have decided that we would like to try to have a child together. I am not sure if I can undergo this procedure because of the hormones. All advice is welcome!
Thank You,
RA

Heterozygote or homzygote? I have heterozygote (one gene) Factor V, and I have already tried injectables for IUI...with no problem. I only took three menopur shots (plus femara) each cycle, though.

If I'm not getting pregnant soon, we're probably also heading for IVF.

Are you seeing an RE?

I am heterozygote. I am not seeing a re yet we just started discussing having another child.  
I just wanted to see if IVF was posibble before I got my hopes up.

Well, my RE knows I have Factor V, and he's still suggesting IVF if nothing happens soon, so I would think IVF would work for you too. I'm sure we'll have to discuss all of this further if we get to that point, though...

Best of luck to the two of you, and merry christmas!
