hi didlesdines,
i had a iud as soon it was in i was sick everyday with headaches and sickness, i had it for 1 year and couldn't stand it anymore had it taken out.
I have known about my condition for about 7 years. My dad was the carrier but he never got clots, my sister has it, i have it and i passed it on to my oldest son. It's called factor v leiden mutation, my sister and i just don't get it from my dad we have it from my mum side as well. My pa on my mum side died from a clot in the brain and his mother died from a clot in the heart. The doctor say my son should not get a clot why he's young.
