FH of clots: Would see if anyone know why there are clots and get a full work up like protein S protein C, Leiden factor V , antithrombin levels, antiphospholipid and anticardiolipin antibodies. Check family history for lupus, bechets, vasculitis. Progesterone only BCP(norethindrone) pills, impants or copper only IUDs are another choice in a family history of clots. No smoking Discuss with gyn/hematologis
