Not indicated: There is no guideline that suggests you should be tested before becoming pregnant. If you personally experience pregnancy losses you should discuss this with your obstetrician and perhaps a hematologist. Best wishes.

You could though: such clotting disorders are relatively rare. Inherited clotting disorders are even rarer. But I applaud your forward rational thinking prior to conceiving. Please see a healthcare professional for proper work up and treatment. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
