question: Hi Dr, Hope all is well. I have recently been diagnosed with Factor V for blood clots (Thrombosis) My GP advised me not to go onto the birth control pill. As i am getting married soon i went to n Gyne (New Dr) and he said no its fine i can go onto Yasmin as i have used it before as a teenager and nothing happened he insisted that the Factor V test was unnecessary and claimed that 9 out of 10 people have it.... I have been taking the pill for a week now but have been experiencing numbness and pain in my legs. I also have Lupus so pain is not something new to me. This feels different tho, legs feel stiff, weak and uncomfortable. Please can you advise Best Regards Monique
