Hi im a mtf transsexual and I have factor V Leiden and the thing im concerned with is that im still in therapy and I'm afraid factor v will prevent me from starting hrt can anyone tell me if it will or not?
Try google look at the Mayo clinic web site it has something to say about estrogen and blood clotting.
Hi redzonebob43, welcome to Susan's Place!
Here is a page from our Wiki with two mentions of factor V Leiden, one in Contraindications, and one in Cardiovascular: http://susans.org/wiki/Hormone_replacement_therapy_%28male-to-female%29 (http://susans.org/wiki/Hormone_replacement_therapy_%28male-to-female%29)
I also found this, it is a very old thread: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,31536.0.html (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,31536.0.html)
Hope this helps, hugs, Devlyn
