    Yeah, some people will survive, but it's really not a good idea. There may be some history of thrombosis in your family that you dont know about, which increases the risk even more. The doctor's wouldnt ask if it wasnt important, it's really not worth the risk.

    It's really hard to tell, because there are so many different types of the pill - if you hare honest with your doctor and give a complete medical history, s/he should be able to give you the right advice.

    Don't just ditch the pill though - there is a higher chance of DVT if you get pregnant!! If you're worried go back to your GP or a family planning place.

    Cheers, Juliet
