Some: Do you smoke. Do you have a history of blood clots or family history of blood clots. Have you had breast cancer. Do you have a strong family history of heart attacks or strokes. Do you have any liver disease. Any prior use of birth control in the past with issues including jaundice(turning yellow). Any blood pressure issues or diabetes issues? These would be very common one? Good luck.

You: will likely be asked about your sexual history, your current partner(s), your STD history if any, your family history (particularly whether or not you have a family history of blood clots), what backup methods of birth control you have, and whether or not you smoke (the combo increases the risk of blood clots). Hope this helps!
