I've been prewarned that the birth control pill with increased altitude causes bloodclots, how do i prevent?

Discuss with doc: You should talk with your physician but increasing activity, walking often and not sitting for long periods of time, possibly taking a baby Aspirin daily (discuss with your doctor first) and maybe even compression stockings if you have poor venous circulation.
