Pill Problem please help!?

Actually, some of the answers provided aren't entirely correct. There are some birth control pills that are NOT ociated with a risk of blood clots. Progestin only "mini pills" have not been found to put women at risk for blood clots. It seems that it is the estrogen in BCP that is the problem. I have a blood clotting disorder and almost died from a clot, so my doctor did TONS of research on birth control options before finding one that was safe for me to take. I take Micronor, which is one of the progrestin only mini pills. Also, the IUD Mirena may be an option for you. The progestin released by the IUD doesn't actually enter your blood stream. Although, come to think of it, I don't know if doctors usually prescribe IUD's for young women your age. And I don't know if the progestin only pills would help with the PCOS (I'm not extremely familiar with this). I would talk with your doctor about your concerns and come up with an option that you both feel comfortable with. Another misconception is that women under 35 aren't at risk for blood clots - which isn't true! I developed a blood clot when I was only 23. A blood clot can happen to anyone at any age and are very dangerous. Good for you for your caution. Being immobile is definitely a risk for blood clots and adding another risk factor, such as combination BCP's is probably not the best idea. Good luck to you!!
