A member asked:

If you are on combined oral pill, will that make a 'd dimer' test positive like pregnancy does when you have a d dimer test done?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: Even though average D-dimer levels are higher in women on contraceptive pill, the results are still within normal levels. You may consult this site for more info: http://archderm.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=711883 For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
