I'm on the no estrogen contraceptive pill. theres a high risk of severe blood clots in my family, so i'm worrying. can i still take the pill?

Should be ok: The mini-pills are progestin-only contraceptive pills, and are not felt to increase one's risk of blood clots. One should check with her primary care doctor and review her family history. If relatives had blood clots, a woman may have a genetic clotting disorder, and be prone to clotting during pregnancy. That would mean using a mini-pill to prevent pregnancy can be safer than getting pregnant.
