A birth control injection
Recently I saw a email saying that a woman was usuing a birth control injection that allows her to only have her period three times a year. This woman died because they found a blood clot in her neck and it was caused by this birth control. I would like to know if this story is true, if it is what is the name of this birth control and I use the 2 months injection will it do the same thing.

The birth control injections do not cause blood clots.
