They all can give you bloodclots. Greater risks are women who smoke over age 35. I was on BC's, Loestrin and Ortho Novems many years ago. If you take them as directed, they do work. I had no problems or side effects but I was also much younger. I don't think I'd try using the newer ones out today like Seasonale or Seasonique or the ones that you have a cycle 4 times a year. They are too new and as much as I don't like the "Ladies days", I'd still opt for a cycle than taking meds that make you not have a regular one. I've heard that Nuva ring is also removable at any time you choose.
