What would you do? Medication.

when I was in college, I had a sore spot on my shin. I went to the infirmary and the MD said I had a blood clot. I don't know what he based it on, there were no recommendations aside from going off birth control pills, no follow up, and I've always wondered if I truly had one. I haven't wanted to take hormones for that reason.

He could have easily done a quick blood test or Doppler to see if you truly had blood clot. Better that you didn’t take birth control because if you read, they may not have been good for bones during formative years since they suppress natural cyclical levels of hormones from my understanding.
