A member asked:
I got superficial blood clots when i started birth control (the pill) and i want to know what my options are for contraceptives?

Birth control pills : Birth control pills can increase your risk of clotting. This can result in damage to your organs and can be life threatening. It is important to be tested for other causes of clotting; if these are present, combination birth control is not for you. Progestin only pills may be used, as can barrier methods usually in combination.
