Do you worry about the increased risk of blood clots? Have any of you asked your doctors about that?

Don't all hormonal birth control methods increase that risk?

I have always thought it was one of the creepiest risks but I have never heard of anyone getting one. Have you?

Probably pretty rare if you don't smoke and aren't overweight.

I don't worry about it.

Does the nuvaring have a higher risk of blood clots than other pills containing the same projestin type because of the way the hormones are aborbed?
