I watch Dr. G The medical examiner last night on tv. The episode was about the 26 year old woman who has a seizure while dinning with her husband and died 3 days later at the hospital. Dr. G who’s medical examiner examine the body to determine the cause of her death. Unfortunately 
the cause of her death was a blood clot cause by taking contraceptive pills ( birth control). Dr. G said Taking birth control pills the increase of estrogen disturb the delicate balance of your body. Smoking while taking birth control have a risk of developing a blood clot.
I’ve heard, seen on the news on tv, read on the internet and some lawsuit that using birth control patch has a huge potential of getting a blood clot because of the method of estrogen absorb directly to your skin and it has high amount of estrogen in it compare to the Oral birth control pills and woman who smoke will definitely have a high risk of getting a blood clot that leads to heart attack and some other complication or death.
I’ve use birth control patch for 3 years and I smoke occasionally but I’m fine. Nothing happen, I actually liked it. Unlike pills I tried taking them but I always forget, spotting all the time and I hated it so I decided to go back on patch. My menstrual cycle always in time and normal. I stop taking it since my husband got fix. I have lot of friends that smoke while taking contraceptive pills and still alive. Dr. G said there’s a little blood clot normally form on our blood stream. Unfortunately some blood clot build up and cut lose and manage to travel all the way to the heart or lungs or other major organ and block the blood flow to it and in worst case will lead you to death. Contraceptive pills are not dangerous at all but on the case of 26 yrs old woman her family had a history of blood clot. She’s young and healthy woman but if she know about the her family history she would off been still alive today.
For the woman out there, talk to your doctor before taking contraceptive pills and know your own family medical history as it helps you diagnose and prevent the unfortunate event like this.
