Conflicting Studies

Recent studies have shown that the birth control patch could cause a higher risk of blood clots in the legs and lungs than the birth control pill, according to the news I heard on TV, but the same note added that there was another study saying that no difference was found between the two forms of preservative. Both studies are conflicting, and there is more to add to this story: The Food and Drug Administration say that the second study has a better proof of the patch causing blood clots in legs and lungs. Am I right? How can one study prove two different things at the same time? Yes, I have many questions going through my head now. What should women be worried about? Birth control pills or the patch? It is so contradictory. Maybe I do not know anything about science, but if people like me are watching the news, they might have trouble trying to figure out what is going on, but I found some information about the risks of using the patch in Ortho Evra’s page. At least they include the risks, and explain what women might be exposed to if they use their patch.
