A member asked:
Could you tell me if my current birth control pill gives me a blood clot can i use another?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If you have had a DVT while on the pill, you should not ever take an estrogen containing pill again. There are birth control pills that contain only progesterone, they would be safe.
