A controlled prospective survey to test the hypothesis that anovulants Increase the incidence of thromboembolic disease is described. A significant negative correlation between anovulants and superficial venous thrombosis was demonstrated. Incidental findings include a negative correlation for weight gain and a positive correlation for average blood pressure. No evidence is presented of there being an association between the use of anovulants and the occurrence of deep‐vein thrombosis or embolism.
