Hormonal Contraception: The Pill [General Discussion]
in Women's Health ·
Could I get a little help here? I’m looking to start on birth control pills, but my gynecologist sent me off for some blood work first. On my coagulation tests, my fibrinogen C came back at 3.6 (normal range is 1.8-3.5), and my D-dimer was 697 (should be under 500 ug/L FEU). My doctor advised against starting the pills just yet, though they didn't specify if there would be actual negative consequences if I did proceed. They suggested I see a hematologist, which I definitely plan to do. But I'm curious—has anyone else dealt with this? If you have, what was the deal? Will I actually be able to take the pill? Please let me know if you know anything about this.
