Hello! I'm also from New Zealand!
I would definately stop your BCP if you're worried about blood clots. Surely there is no side effect worse than a blood clot? There are plenty of other BCPs you can try other than Diane/Estelle. I've been on Estelle and Monofeme and I'm currently on Norimin and I haven't had an increase in my symptoms. There are also lots of avenues outside medication you can try too. I'm about to start spearmint tea for my facial hair.
