The risk of blood clots largely disappears within 2 to 4 weeks after stopping hormone-based birth control, according to a new study in Blood. Combined hormonal contraceptives have long been known to increase the risk of blood clots. What has been less clear is how long this effect lingers once a person stops using them. Several medical guidelines recommend stopping hormonal contraceptives ahead of certain medical events, such as major surgery, but most do not specify how long someone should be off birth control beforehand. This study is the first to provide such confirmatory guidance on the best timing to stop contraception.

We're extremely proud to announce that Percept's Dr Nicole Daniels single-authored article, "Ultrasound scans as risk rituals in obstetric prenatal care in South Africa" has been published in the "Health, Risk & Society" Journal. In the article, Daniels writes: "I examine collective maternity risk understandings and practices from the dual-perspective of obstetricians and pregnant persons, focusing in particular on the role of ultrasound scans. Contributing to socio-cultural theories on collective risks, I draw upon data from a two and a half year, multisite ethnography that traced fourteen women and seven obstetricians’ corresponding experiences of private-sector childbirth in Cape Town. My findings show that ultrasounds, as habitual practices, are well-established as safe, yet generate medico-legal risks for obstetricians and delivery risks for pregnant women, while managing risks to the unborn. The unborn, culturally sanctioned as precious, emerges as central to the purposes of the ultrasound risk ritual that warrants both self-protective precaution and collective duty on behalf of both social groups."
