A member asked:
I'm 21 and been on the same bc for years, could i get a blood clot from my birthcontrol? i don't smoke.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Yes, all bc pills have risk of clot, dvt, pe... The risk is also depends on other aggravating risk factors as you said such as smoke , family history and genetic clotting factor deficiencies , etc... So no bc is safe in general...
