Hard to say: Factor v leiden as you mentioned is a clotting disorder making you more prone to them. This could be made worse with contraceptives. Seeing as your mother has it, i would advise testing. It is usually discovered after clots are formed in the deep vessels of the leg, lung, or perhaps even recurrent miscarriages that prompts investigation.

No: The blood test will tell you if you have it.
