Well I have factor 5 and factor 2, I think I am a rare odd -ball. After I gave birth to my son I developed a Pulmonary Embolism (clot in the lung) this led to the discovery of my disorders. Now that we are trying again the doc's want me on heparin throughout the entire pregnancy, and then again right after the birth.
