This might be true more generally, but every time i've been prescribed the pill I wasn't asked about family history of cancers or clots. It was always a 45 second appointment, prescribed, done. Then later told contradictory things by different doctors as to what I should be on

Same! I was on combined pill for years before a Dr. realised my history also said migraine with aura and that I had family stroke history
had never been asked anything about it until then. Was quickly taken off it that day.

Anecdotally, I was potentially an increased risk (my mum had a pulmonary embolism) so I had a whole heap of blood tests to confirm it wasn't a genetic thing before they'd re-prescribe.

Migraine with aura is a very common contraindication as well for one of the two (can’t remember which)

I really hope you played "Waiting Room" while you were, you know, in the waiting room before getting your jab.

Ehhhh not all the time? In fact never when I was on the pill as a teenager and nor was anyone I knew growing up, and then if you just carried on taking it there would be no need to question it. Only reason I had alternatives was bc I’m forgetful and I have endo & PCOs

And I’ve seen this to be a pretty common experience, not everyone gets their birth control from their GP and even if they do the only contributing factor they are/were ever concerned about in my memory is BMI for the mini pill

I never encountered pre or during checks nor was I offered alternatives. Only after a decade did I discover the existence of the alternative I use today (copper coil), and thru friends, not a doctor. Our approach to women's health is a scandal independent of any vaccine news.

It is, especially with menstrual problems, I just find the attempts draw comparisons between risk approaches to vaccines and the pill a leap. Like when people claimed selling Viagra over the counter but not the pill was sexist, but GPs pointed out the stroke risk (1/2)

This isn't how I've ever experienced contraception services nor is it the experience of my peers unfortunately
