I had two blod clots in my lungs last september from the birth control I was on. They developed in only 3 months to a size that shocked even the radiologist. I got very lucky that my dr went with his instinct and sent me for testing. After several months, I no longer had blood clots. But because pregnancy has the same hormones, only in larger amounts, we are high risk. I do injections of blood thinners twice a day, have my blood tested every week to 2 weeks, see the dr. every 2 weeks and will be induced 2 weeks early to ensure that I dont' go into labor while I'mon the thinners. That could increase my chances of bleeding out.

Besides that, Everything is great!
