Hi,
I have been on the pill on and off since I was 15, had the implant from about 17 till I was 18 it didnt agree with me so I went back on the pill (Loesterine). I get on with it fine however my mum was diagnosed with blood clots on her lungs in sept and when I was talking to a friend about this recently she said that I shouldnt be on the pill coz mum had clots and the pill increases your chance of clots. Anyone know if there is any truth in this as I am quite happy on the pill and don't really fancy changing.
Thanks
