There’s no evidence that taking the combined contraceptive pill affects the risk of blood clots after the first dose of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, a leading sexual health body has said.
The Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Health has recommended that people taking the combined pill continue to do so after receiving both the first and second dose of the vaccine.
The guidance was issued after concerns over links between contraception, blood clots, and Covid-19 vaccines.
The pill does increase the risk of blood clots in its own right, but does not affect the risk of developing the specific, rare type of blood clots with low blood platelets associated with the AstraZeneca vaccine.
How AstraZeneca Blood Clot Risk Compares to Contraceptive Pill, Smoking, Long-Haul Flights

On Wednesday, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) stated that blood clots with low blood platelets should be listed as very rare side effects of the Oxford-AstraZeneca (AZ) COVID vaccine.
It came to its conclusion based on a review of 86 blood clotting cases reported in the EU drug safety database, 18 of which were fatal. Most of these cases were reported from the EU as well as the U.K., where roughly 25 million people have received the jab. The EMA added the benefits of the vaccine still outweigh the risks.

A public consultation running until Friday concerns two progestogen-only pills: Lovima 75 microgram tablets and Hana 75 microgram tablets.
Some people on social media have welcomed the idea as a way to improve access to contraception for women, but others are worried about whether women would get the same standard of advice as they do at GPs and sexual health clinics.
Here s what doctors and pharmacists had to say.
Which pills are we talking about?
The pills at the centre of the consultation contain a hormone called progestogen. When progestogen-only pills first became popular, they became known as the mini pill because they do not contain oestrogen, like the combined pill does.
