Maybe: While your pe may have been induced by oral contraceptives, there are many other hematologic abnormalities that can increase your risk. After stopping your blood thinners, your doctors can order a battery of tests to see if you have any of the known abnormalities that would otherwise increase your risk.For more info www.Askyourgynecologist.Org.
