I'm glad you have 2 children, not to make up for your losse, but to remind you why you tried to have other children in the first place

MY QUESTION NOW IS, SINCE THIS LOSS ON DEC. 18, 2000, I HAVE NOT HAD MENSTRUATION. I AM OVERWEIGHT, AND HAVE HAD IRREGULAR MENSES IN PAST, ND HAD TO USE CLOMID TO GET PREGNANT. SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT LACK OF MENSES?

you should have started mentruating again by now, so you do need to see your doctor

MY RESEARCH ON FACTOR V LEIDEN SHOWS THAT USING ANY HORMONAL RE LACEMENTS CAN BE DETREMENTIAL(RE:USING MEDICATION TO BRING ON MENSES) P EASE ADVISE. THANK YOU! TERI WRIGHT

usually progesterone or derivatives are used to bring on a period -- it is estrogen that is linked to the increased risk of blood clots in women with Factor V Leiden mutation
