I was recently diagnosed with two blood clotting disorders... Factor V Leiden and MTHFR.  They are both hereditary and I assume that my mom is the one that has it too (she had a blood clot within a week of my birth), but she won't get tested.  She is O+.

My question is, has there been any research on how the BTD works in conjunction with blood disorders (clotting or bleeding)?

I am currently taking prescription strength folic acid (with B6 and B12) and baby aspirin to help with the MTHFR.  The Factor V Leiden doesn't get treated (only if I do get a clot or when I become pregnant again).

Thank you,
Robin
