Does the progestogen only pill increase your risk of blood clots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: All sex hormones can increase risk of clots, especially if your levels rise too high or you have a propensity to form clots, concurrent pro-thrombotic disease states or being in sedentary position for too long.
