I have the Factor V Leiden and Prothrombin II mutation. I ended up with a PE (pulmonary embolism) after being on the pill for only 1 month. At about the age of 25ish I found the paragaurd IUD as it is hormone free and something I could use until the hubby and I decided it was time for a baby. Now that I am pregnant I give myself daily injections of lovenox to reduce the chance of another PE or DVT. If you have any questions let me know I have done quite a bit of research as I wanted to know what my future would hold with these clotting factors.
Anyone on birth control who has a blood clotting disorder?
I have Factor V liden mutation, which is a blood clotting disorder. I've been to my primary doctor and she said birth control pills isn't an option. Anyone have a blood clotting disorder and on birth control?
