The patient with thrombophilia
This chapter includes clinical cases, background, evidence-based practical management options, preventive measures, key-point summaries of thrombophilia and answers to questions patients ask. Thromboembolism is a rare complication of ovarian stimulation for IVF. Venous thrombosis is a potentially serious disorder which may often lead to post-thrombotic syndrome causing chronic morbidity. Because women undergoing IVF are generally young and active, this may afflict their lives for many years. screening for thrombophilia should be considered in women with a history of recurrent miscarriage, or personal or family history of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The management of the woman with a single previous VTE has been controversial, but data from studies of pregnancy may guide therapy in the context of IVF. Clinical reports of deep venous thrombosis occurring following IVF treatment indicate that it most frequently presents in early pregnancy between 5 and 10 weeks after human chorionic gonadotropin administration.

Abstract
This chapter includes clinical cases, background, evidence-based practical management options, preventive measures, key-point summaries of thrombophilia and answers to questions patients ask. Thromboembolism is a rare complication of ovarian stimulation for IVF. Venous thrombosis is a potentially serious disorder which may often lead to post-thrombotic syndrome causing chronic morbidity. Because women undergoing IVF are generally young and active, this may afflict their lives for many years. screening for thrombophilia should be considered in women with a history of recurrent miscarriage, or personal or family history of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The management of the woman with a single previous VTE has been controversial, but data from studies of pregnancy may guide therapy in the context of IVF. Clinical reports of deep venous thrombosis occurring following IVF treatment indicate that it most frequently presents in early pregnancy between 5 and 10 weeks after human chorionic gonadotropin administration.
