One of the well-known side effects of birth control pills are blood clots. In general 8 out of 10,000 will develop a blood clot at some point if they are on the Pill. With certain brands of oral contraceptives the risk however increases by 2-3 times. We are talking about 16-24 women out of 10,000.

Birth Control pills that are associated with a higher risk of blood clots are the ones containing a particular hormone Progesterone Drospirenone (DRSP.) DRSP is a synthetic hormone formulated to be molecularly similar to a hormone found in the human body, but not “bio-identical” to it. This hormone is not more effective in preventing pregnancy than others are but it poses higher risks of blood clotting.

Birth control pills that contain DRSP and are associated with higher risks of developing blood clots are:

• Yaz (generics Gianvi and Loryna),
• Yasmin (generics Ocella, Syeda and Zarah),
• Beyaz,
• Safyral.

If you are currently taking any of these birth control pills you need to consult your physician immediately. It is recommended that you stop taking these birth control pills immediately if

• you are over the age of 35,
• you smoke,
• you have a family history of blood clots.

Even if you do not have any of the health risks mentioned above other birth control pills (like Ortho TriCyclen, Alesse to name a few) can still be a safer option for you.

You might also want to consider other birth control methods like IUD, Spermicides or old-fashioned condoms (male and female.) If you are not sure which option will suit you best you can take a short online quiz Choosing My Birth Control Method provided by Planned Parenthood.

While birth control pills have higher risks of causing blood clots than other contraceptives they also offer far more benefits for women. They help to fight acne, regulate menstrual cycle, help with moodiness and irritability as well as ease menstrual cramps.

FDA is currently investigating safety of birth control pills containing DRSP but doesn’t advise to stop using them without first consulting a doctor. If you choose to continue using Yasmin, Yaz or other DRSP-containing medications then you should watch for symptoms of blood clots:

• persistent leg pain,
• severe chest pain,
• sudden shortness of breath.

Contact your doctor immediately if these symptoms occur. Although birth-control pills raise the risk of blood clot, the absolute risk is still very low.

Talk to your doctor, consider all of your personal risk factors and your personal comfort. It is very important that you make a decision that you are comfortable with. Your health is your number one priority. Take care of it.

1. Free condoms. The cheapest type of birth control which protects both against pregnancy and STDS are condoms. Most colleges and health care clinics give those away for free. A lot of nightclubs also give away condoms for free. You can also find free condom samples online (usually you can get up to 10 condoms at a time) however you still have to pay for the shipping that costs the same as a pack of condoms at your local drugstore.
2. Cheap condoms. If you are looking for cheap condoms you can always check out coupons and sales at your local grocery store or drugstore. Several manufacturers offer discount coupons if you register for their promotions online:
   You can save $2 on Trojan Condoms (click here.) Durex offers special coupons and discounts if you sign up for their newsletter here.
   A lot of online stores offer discount coupons that you can check out on this site.
3. Free birth control pills. Some women can get birth control pills for free. If you are a college student you can check with your institution first. A lot of colleges support safe sex and offer free birth control pills (or at least sample packs) to the students.

   Check with your health care provider and see if they can give you birth control samples. The downside of using samples is that they are usually limited to one month supply and after it you are supposed to buy a new pack.

   Planned Parenthood can be another source of free (or extremely cheap) birth control pills and health exams. They offer free birth control to teens under 18 and women with low or no income. During your visit you need to have some form of ID, social security card and proof of residence. You can find a Planned Parenthood clinic by visiting their official website (listed at the top of this paragraph.)

4. Cheap birth control pills. Not everyone is eligible to receive free birth control pills, however a lot of women (especially today) do not have health insurance and cannot afford visits to the doctor. A check-up visit to the doctor without a health insurance can cost you $150 or more and you will still have to pay full price for your birth control pills. A lot of clinics now give prescriptions only for a few months and then they require another visit to get another prescription.

   If you do not qualify for free birth control you can use online pharmacies to order your birth control pills without prior prescription from your doctor. Buy Birth Control was created for women who cannot afford pricey visits to the doctor and cannot receive free birth control. Our prices are extremely affordable because we understand the importance of contraception for your health and well being. Consider this: the cost of a 3-months supply of Ortho Tricyclen (the most popular birth control pill) is just $107 – it is cheaper than a visit to the doctor if you do not have health insurance!

Choosing an affordable and effective birth control option is a very important decision in the life of every woman. Do you research, discover the best form of contraception for you and choose the best way to get free or cheap birth control pills.
