A member asked:

My wife is is using 52mg of levonorgestrel, but she also has a bleeding disorder with thin blood, will this cause a problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Michael Swor answered

No: Progestins don't correct bleeding disorders like she has, but may reduce the overall amount of bleeding.
