Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

Birth control pills are known to increasing the risk of blood clot. You have blood clot in lung so you need to take blood thinner. Your anemia is due to heavy bleeding. So first of all you need to search the cause of heavy bleeding. You should go for ultrasound abdomen and if required go for endometrial biopsy. It will give you exact idea about cause. Then take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me.
I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
