HCG and Factor V Leiden

Is it safe to take HCG if you have Facotr V Leiden?  The dr that prescribed the medication was not in but the nurse said it was safe.  I am not allowed to take birth control pills because of this condition.  Wondering if I should be taking HCGH or not.

Perhaps the 6 325 mg regimen is better. Just to be sure. That was great advice. And tons of water! But go search medical journals.for how much asprin it takes to thin a blood clot. You'd get a close answer as to how much. But asprin won't kill.you just stop taking it when tou start p3 of the diet.

Yes I agree. Im not a docotr but i have had big dvts and I have factor V leiden also and even before I had my leg stinted june 22rd 2017, for May-Thurners Syndrome I did a round of hcg with no problems. At that time i didnt evwn know i had factor v. You have to weigh the pros and cons. HCG is for me, the only diet that has ever actually worked. Two of my family member lost over 50lbs each. It changed their lives. However I agree that you should take 1 325 mg asprin 3 times a day. Just as a safety net. Not baby asprin. Like the lady stated above just to make sure. If you begin to have pain or swell from a suspected clot formation see your doctor immediately. I am on xeralto a blood thinner I take daily because I just had the stints put in my left leg and I plan on taking ibuprofen and aspirin to help give the a little extra thinning action. My weight is literally hurting me worse so I have chosen to go ahead and do it. It's a personal choice I think. I can't afford to be this heavy. It's not good for my leg or my body. Good.luck.

I have the condition and have been doing the hcg for 3 weeks. I drink at least 2 liters of water a day and take 6 325 mg enteric aspirin a day to thin the blood. Hope that helps...
