in Trying to Get Pregnant

My dad's blood clotting disorder is called Factor V Leiden. His blood clots faster than normal people and he only found out after he had stints put in his heart and he coded after because the blood clotted and caused a heart attack! It was so scary...

I was reading online and the m/s rate is 30% with this disorder and most women have to take daily shots, does not sound fun...

 

What disorder did you find out you have?

    I have the Factor 3 Prothrombin abnormality. I had a DVT (blood clot) in my leg when I was pregnant with my daughter over 12 years ago. So when I talked to my doctor about trying to conceive, she had all the genetic tests run on me (including the Factor V). If I get pregnant, I will have to start on the Lovenox shots immediately. I had to do heparin shots after I got my blood clot until the end of my pregnancy. It sucked, but was worth it.

    I am seeing a hemotologist later this month and will find out more about it.

    Congrats again!
