Q: Possible Blood Clot Due to Tri-cyclen?

Hello,

since i've been on the pill (one pill pack, first one in my whole life), I have had 8 headaches and 2 migranes, when usually I only have about 5 headaches a year. Yesterday, I had this pain in my right thy,but it felt like a pressure buildup or something. Today, my right leg was sorta cold, but not totally noticable. I had a migrane yesterday too. Is it possible that I have a bloodclot? If I do have a bloodclot will I be put on different birth control pills, or taken off completely (that would suck!). Also, can u just drop dead from bloodclots? I have no idea, but im completely terrified.

Pleeez help me ppl,
betty boop

Well since this is your first time on this kinda birth control it might just be that you are having bad side affects and you need a new method. I was on the patch and had alot of nausea and headaches. I mean these were some very bad headaches. And rashes on my hands. So I havent gotten on it yet. You should go see your gyn again and tell them the affects you are experiencing and they will take it from there. Good luck!
