I haven’t taken the pill in over two years and have decided to come back on it recently my Gp mentioned that I have to ask them about travelling before going whilst being on the pill has anyone had experience travelling on a plane whilst being on it? Any recommendations or tips?

Why do you need to ask them?

@bluerose9 she said that you’re supposed to inform them before you travel and how long the flight will be because your legs may become swollen?

It is important to stand up and move about regularly when you are on a long flight.

I’ve never heard of people being told to inform their doctor about their travels but ^ as said above you’re supposed to get up and walk around every few hours to help that.

@bluerose9 they’re probably being overly cautious. They could have just said to make sure and walk around instead of being so vague 😩

@Yi_eune exactly it’s confusing and asking people to contact them when they travel sounds like a waste of time and resources lol
