I am quite appalled at the number of deaths caused by all birth controls! I hope that everyone who reads this will let the young women in their lives know that there is a blood test you can get to find out if you have Factor V Leiden in your blood. If so you have a greater chance of getting a blood clot from birth control pills. This is something you can find out before going on birth control! Also if your ancestry includes Scandinavian and northern European genetics this also increases your chances of getting a blood clot. Thank you to everyone who continues to share this info, you are saving a life! Check out Blood and Hormones on Facebook!
