Progestins & IUD
In conclusion, progestogens may have differential effects on VTE risk according to the molecules and therefore represent an important potential determinant of the thrombotic risk among postmenopausal women using estrogens.

Assessing the risk of venous thromboembolic events in women taking progestin-only contraception: a meta-analysis
Published data assessing the risk of venous thromboembolism in women prescribed progestin-only contraception are limited. In this meta-analysis of eight observational studies, the use of progestin-only contraception was not associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism compared with non-users of hormonal contraception. The potential association between injectable progestins and thrombosis requires further study. Mantha S, Karp R, Raghavan V, Terrin N, Bauer KA, Zwicker JI. BMJ. 2012 Aug 7;345:e4944.
