Hi ariane05, welcome back!

Hon. you need to talk to your doctor or his/her nurse, NOW! Your doctor should have a set of instructions about what to do and what not to do before the procedure and your guessing may not be helpful. Specifically ask about BCPs and what you should do. I don't know that Desogen is any better or worse than most other oral contraceptives. The chance of clots from BCPs is very low for young nonsmoking women. I hope your procedure goes well. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Hugs,

      Jill
