A member asked:
Can progesterone only pills in general cause blood clots? can provera pills cause blood clots? i am obese in the processing of beginning to lose weight. i am worried about blood clots my cousin had them.

Blood clots: "Progesterone only" birth control usually is not associated with blood clotting, but being overweight and less active physically can predispose to clots. Provera is also progesterone, and is not usually prescribed unless your periods are delayed. Statistically, oral birth control (combination) pills which contain estrogen and progesterone are associated with a risk of blood clots.
