Birth Control (Contraception) for Women

One more question to determine if you should avoid estrogen-containing birth control pills, patches or vaginal rings. Also if you currently smoke and are age 35 or older, you have a higher risk of clots and strokes with estrogen.

Women should generally avoid estrogen-containing contraceptives if they

-- Have high blood pressure that is difficult to control

-- Have complex migraine (migraine with neurological symptoms)

-- Smoke and are 35 years of age or older

Do any of the above apply to you?

Yes

None of these apply to me.
