A member asked:

What types of birth control can i use if i have a blood clot? other than condoms, female condoms, caps, things like that. any oral pills avaliable?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No oral hormonal: options are safe, and Mirena (levonorgestrel) (IUD) can only be used if your DVT/clot has cleared (after being confirmed with an ultrasound/Doppler) and you have no other underlying tendency in your blood to clot (i.e. Factor V leiden, Lupus anticoagulant, Protein C/S deficiency etc.). In the meantime, only condoms and/or tubal ligation or male vasectomy are feasible.
