A member asked:
I've just had one month on the pill and i've been finding bruises on my legs. only 2 but i haven't knocked my legs at all. could this be related ?

The bruises are: Not related to the pill in any way that i can imagine. Hang in there, sometimes we can't remember hitting something but the pill does not cause the kind of blood problems that result in easy bruising. Good luck.

Yes, may be related: Some patients may present with bruising as a result of birth control pills. However, other causes should be explored, including vitamin deficiencies, including vit. C, B12 and folic acid. Talk to your doctor who may change your birth control pill.
