question bout blot clots and the pill
| Mon, 10-04-2004 - 12:28am |
how long does it usually take for you to know if you'll have a bad reaction such as a blot clot or if all is fine? after the first pill or within a few days? i took my first pill ever today and i think i'm fine but the chance still worries me though it's pretty unlikely anything bad will happen.

If you are a young, healthy, nonsmoker and don’t have a family history of clotting problems, it is very, very unlikely that you will have a clot. Since you are new to oral contraceptives you might want to read about them in the Board's FAQs: ‘How the pill works’, ‘Taking your pills correctly’, ‘Common pill side effects’ and ‘Irregular bleeding anyone?’ should all be of interest. Thanks for posting. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill

Hope that helps but just know that its very rare so dont borrow trouble and get all scared about it! But I am only 29 and I don't smoke, so don't think it can't happen even if you're under 35 and are a non-smoker.
