Hi im new to this message board so hopefully I do everything correctly.

I scheduled a doctors appointment to get some birth control for tomorrow because I refuse to have sex until I get birth control. Well last night my mom was telling my boyfriend and me about how she had a blood clot behind her eye three years ago (slipped my mind forgot about that) and how the doctor told her it would go away and take aspirin once a day and it should be fine.

Well my boyfriend is a health freak and heard on the news about this lady dying from a blood clot caused by her birth control. He really didnt want me to get it so I told him I would cancel the appointment and do some research and see what I come up with.

My question is my mom doesnt know about me wanting to get birth control so if I do decide to go to the doctors and I tell them about the blood clot running in the family what kind of questions are they going to ask me. Can they even prescribe any birth control to me if its going to be a risk. My mind set right now is no sex until I can find something more effective then a condom. If I need to then I will talk to my mom about it and get information from her and hope she won't freak out to much. Thanks for any advice ahead of time.
