Hi. My periods have always been normal except for this month. I am thinking that when I see my GYN. that she will more then likely start me on some birth control to help regulate my periods and help start this period that I have missed. My insuramce will not cover an IUD. I am a smoker, I am over weight and I have high blood preasure. Will having these things up my risks for a heart attack, stoke, anyerism, pluminary imbolism if I start on birth control? I have heard on TV commercials that all of these things are a risk. So I was thinking if I have these things it would up my risks. I really need to start on birth control. But I am abit afraid. I would hate to start on it and end up dead! I have 2 kids to raise! What would you suggest? Is there any birth control for over weight, high blood preasure, smoking people like myself?My insurance also doesn't cover diaphrams and I am unable at this time to buy one myself.
