Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You are thrombophilic. you have high chance of clotting. SO you should avoid birth control pill and smoking. Both can increase the risk of clotting. For your period management consult your gynecologist and take treatment under his guidance and observation.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
