I’m 30 years old, in good general health - as far as I know. Stopped oral contraceptives about 5 years ago. My BMI is 26.6. I had a consult with a very well recommended doctor who has been in practice for many years. I am just struggling with moving forward knowing there are serious risks like stroke, blood clotting, vision problems, etc. I know they are less common risks but still risks none the less. How can I mitigate these risks? Is there anything I can do to feel confident to move forward?
