Alternatives: The concern is over the drospirenone (synthetic progesterone) component of the pill. Some studies suggest that Yasmin and Yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) may have a higher risk of venous blood clots than older birth control pills. However, there are risks associated with any pill, and the benefits generally outweigh the risks. The decision of which pill to use should be made between you and your doctor.

Yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) is safe,but: if you are that concerned,why not switch to a different OC or use a different form of contraception?
