A member asked:

I have a history of blood clots and i am on hormone replacement therapy. am i for sure going to get another blood clot? birthcontrol is why i had them

Risky: Depending upon your blood clot history, hormone replacement may be risky as it can increase your predisposition to further blood clotting. Please check w/your doctor and make sure they are aware of your entire medical history.
