Ashleystar!, Yaz/Yasmin does have a higher risk for blood clots but you are correct that diannette and diane-35 are also not good for PCOS/blood clot issues.
The lower the level of hormones the better however, new generation birth control pills, which use 3rd generation progestins have a higher level risk of DVT. The risk of venous thromboembolism appears to be 1.5- to 2.7-fold greater in users of third-generation, compared with second-generation, oral contraceptives. Compared with nonusers, women who use third-generation oral contraceptives may have a 4.8- to 9.4-fold greater risk of venous thromboembolism. The most common progestins involved are desogestrel or gestodene. Third generation pills to watch out for: Yaz/Yasmin, apri-28, cyclessa, desogen, ortho-cept, mircette,kariva, reclipsen, velivet are all thought to raise the risk of DVT according to many studies. Just google "third-generation BCP risks" you will find many studies by the WHO & BMJ.
