A member asked:
Was on combination birth control for 6 days then stopped. having crampy pain in left calf - likely that stopping pill mid cycle would lead to clot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bcp and clot: It is unlikely for 6 days of pills to cause a clot so soon. However, pain in your calf associated with redness, swelling of the leg are potential signs for clot. Consider going to the nearest emergency if you remain concerned. A physical exam by a doctor may help to determine if your symptoms are worrisome
