Brief Answer:
Coagulation disorder suspected, start with anti coagulant drug.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on Health Care Magic.
Increased frequency of forming multiple clots in blood is suggestive of disorder of coagulation factor.
The coagulation factors come into action when there is injury to blood vessels in body.
Formation of clots without any specific cause like injury suggests a disorder which is causing the blood to clot inside intact blood vessels.
Anti coagulants or blood thinning drugs are required to prevent this abnormal blood clotting.
You need to start with anti coagulant drug, which you already have started and to consult a hematologist for a detailed clinical evaluation as well as investigations to find out the cause of excessive blood clotting.
These investigations include protein C, protein S, homocysteine, factor V mutation etc.
Thanks and take care

Hello and welcome again,
CLL is not usually hereditary but consultation with a hematologist to rule out leukemia is good.
