Birth control issues

Kate

Hey girls! I'm 18 years old and not yet sexually active but I'm planning to be soon. I have PCOS, and was going to go on the pill to help with that AND as a contraception. However my mum has had blood clots so I can't go on the pill, and I'm not really sure which route to take now? I'm worried about all the side effects that come with contraceptions and I wanted to help my PCOS with one but I think the pill was my only option.
