so i was on the elipitical machine at the gym a few hours ago, and I almost fell off when this story came on the news. They did a story on how some of the newer birth control pills have twice the risk of regular birth control pills to increase blood clots. i have been on one this new pills for the past 5 years and had no clue about this. I just wanted to alert you girls in case you were also on these pills. I will be calling my gyno tomorrow to get a new Rx. article

Re: nwr: birth control pills-new warnings
Please ladies be careful with the birth control pills. The doctors didn't find out I had a genetic clotting disorder till I was 26 years old and on the pill for 6 years. Luckily I was on an older pill and it was a low dose pill. But the doctor pulled me off right away and I can't ever go back on again. If you have a family history of clotting or strokes talk to your doctor about being on the pill.
