Are there any birth control methods (other than condoms) where the hormones don’t have the potential to cause blood clots?

Liv

I’m very prone to blood clotting. I took the pill for five days, the lowest dose of hormones possible, and started getting horrible... and I mean horrible.... leg cramps. And I started to worry that it’s blood clots since I have a history of them.

Know of any birth control methods that are safe when prone to clotting? Or should I have kept taking it because I only took it 5 days.
