I was first put on Ortho Tri-cyclen when I was 14 to help with acne and a week after I turned 18 I was hospitalized for 5 days with a blood clot in the main artery of my left leg. Not only did I have a blood clot, but I was anemic, and had low platelets. As soon as they found the blood clot I was taken off of "the pill" and told I was never to take any form of birth control (except condoms) again! I was a smoker, but from what I understood it only mattered if you were 35 or older.
