I have bmi of 40 and and homozygous for Factor v I had a PE during pregnancy years ago and's am on no blood thinners.

I have Covid and stupidly googled about blood clots, now I've terrified myself.

If you have factor v and got through Covid ok, please I'd love to hear from you before my mind flies out of my head stressing about it :)

Hello. I'm factor V and had covid.. I was fine but I totally understand your concerns. I googled like crazy for a while. Had my booster a few days ago and felt like I was taking a risk.
Stay away from Google - easier said than done.

I'm on the pill as well which also attracts a risk.

Thank you! That's reassuring, I have really bad anxiety and Just starting on a weight loss plan so was feeling good but now I'm back to square one feeling really stressed
