Birth Control Eligibility: What the Doctor Screens For
Most Yellowknife residents are clinically eligible for at least one online-prescribable contraceptive method, but combined hormonal contraception (which contains estrogen) is not suitable for everyone. Your doctor screens for the conditions below during the consultation. If a contraindication is found, your doctor may still prescribe a progestin-only option or refer you in-person for a non-hormonal method.
- Smokers over age 35 — combined hormonal contraception is contraindicated; progestin-only options may remain appropriate
- Personal history of blood clots (DVT or PE) — combined hormonal methods are contraindicated
- Migraine with aura — combined hormonal methods are contraindicated
- Uncontrolled hypertension — combined hormonal methods are not started until blood pressure is controlled
