A member asked:
I'm 17, i want to start the combination pill, but i'm too worried about blood clots side effects. what are the real chances of this happening to me?

It depends: On your heredity, whether you're a smoker, whether there's a genetic risk. Even if you have a tendency to blood clots, you're safer with this oral contraceptive than with a pregnancy. Congratulations on your making this responsible and mature choice -- your physician can explain the odds and risks.
