>>Cindy,

I thank you for the response, I was beginning to think I was the only one able to see it. The last time I was on BCP, my doctors as well didn't know that I had MVP, as it was not diagnosed until 3 years later after a bout of strep throat (my first case ever and I was 33 at the time!).

Anyway they made me sick to my stomach and then they tried Depo Prevera and all I did was pass clots (for about 2 months) of a black tarry kind of thing the size of a quarter. I kept Proctor and Gamble in business during those months buying Always pads all of the time. Not to mention that I have cousins whom have developed blood clots while taking BCPs.

Thanks again for the response.
