A member asked:

Do you have to worry about dvt complications from a clot forming after a blood draw when you're on birth control?

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

No: That is not a common concern. While a small blot clot can form in a vessel after a blood draw - it would be a superficial thrombus, it would not be a DVT.
