Hi. I've only just seen this because I am only just starting to do research on this condition. I was diagnosed in January after the birth of my second son. I am 31 and for the past 10 years I have had a vericose vein on my leg that has been getting bigger and bigger. In this last pregnancy it got a lot bigger. I have been questioning doctors for years but they have all just dismissed it. But during the labour I felt a pain in my leg around the vein and afterwards my leg became very sore and bruised where the vein was. A clot formed and I went to a doctor and was diagnosed. I would like more children and the doctor told me that there is no reason why I can't have more even if I have this condition, although I am aware that the risk is increased threefold, so of course I would be careful. I didn't know anything about Clexane though so I will be researching it. At any rate, I have had two healthy babies without even knowing that I had FVL so I am not worried about going back for another.
