A member asked:
Does norethindrone.35mg increase blood clot risk ?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Norethindrone is a progestin, and while clotting is increased in frequency over no hormone external usage, it is less likely than combination bcp's in causing clotting disorders.

Any estrogen containing oral contraceptive can increase your risk of blood clots. A low-dose pill usually contains 20 micrograms of estrogen. Medium dose pills contain between 30 and 35 micrograms. Higher doses can go up to 50 micrograms. The risk of blood clots increases with the amount of estrogen. If you have a history of blood clots, you might want to consider going on a progesterone pill.
