Thread: Blood Clots while on BCP?

can you take aspirin with bcp to avoid blood clots. because i want to take mircette, but dont want blood clots.

wow, my dr. is reccomending bcp for me sa well, however mine is not doing any test or ever has for blood clots in me, or if i am at risk due to thick blood. she just hands me a pill pack and says take em. so I have been on the pill as a teen, and now am having to go on ot after a bad episode with yasmin. it gave me terrible black bruises and heart palpatations or irregular heart beat some would call it. i used to just lay in my best and hold my heart praying not to die cuz of that pill. and then i developed strange anxiety attacks because i was so scared of the heart palps. I am now off yasmin but have developed another cyst fairly large on my left ovary. shes gonna give me the pill again. if you look on the boards many cysters say they fell prey to blood clots from the pill, on other websites some have memorials up for their dead loved ones who died of clots and were "cysters" or pcos...one was only 21 the other 33. it was so sad. i know some woman get treatment from a drug called metformin or glucaphage, it stops cysts and symptoms some how, by reducing insulin? or sensitivity or something? I hope you get the treatment that is best for you. I would not always trust doctors though. they no they loose some and win some. thats just how they see it. ...its hard to find a good dr.
my dr. delivered both my kids...4 and 6 and just wants to throw me on the pill too, even after yasmin problems....and has never once checked my blood. even though your blood on yasmin should be checked every 3 months becuz of the potasium thing in it. just goes to show you.
hope this helps some...and be thankful for such a through Doctor.
best of luck...siayae.

So I unfortunatly have very heavy bleeding.. and since then they put me back on the ring and I didn't want that cause of my legs falling asleep I wanted to get pregnant.. I still had extreme pain and so I went through so many tests and thats when they diaignosed me with PCOS just about a month ago. I'm still learning so much. I want off the BC because thats not fixing my pcos or anything else I have been having heart problems.. and so this week its time for first period with the bc and I was in so much pain last night I went to the ER it was unbearable. I used the restroom while waiting ot be seen and I past 5 or 6 blood clots bigger than a baseball. After that my pain was like nothing.. but I was seen anyways... and expain to them everything and they are like yeah.. your just on your period... go home.. but my new gyno is a jerk... he just says well stay on the BC and loose weight. Thats not fixing the unbearable pain that I keep having.. It keeps coming and I am bleeding so heavily that if I do go to work I will bleed through my pants. I don't know what to do. I don't have insurance. My husband is working out of town right now and he feels horrible that i'm in this alone. I think something is seriously going on down there and no one wants to help.. any suggestions? Has anyone else had huge blod clots like this? I can see if I had no period for months and then passed clots but I was bleed heavily for 7 months straight. and thats why he put me back on the BC. Everyone just looks at me like i'm crazy. I could really use someone to talk to and explain to me things or just chat with about PCOS. I feel so alone in this right now.
