No association: Factor 5 Leiden is a disorder that increases your risk of clotting. Although I understand why you might think that this might affect your period, it is unlikely that they are associated. However you can lighting or eliminate your period by getting on a birth control method such as an IUD or using a combined hormonal methods. Please consult a gynecologist for more details.
