Feb. 17, 2006 -- Women using the Ortho Evra birth control patch may be twice as likely to develop blood clots as women using birth control pills, say researchers.

That's according to preliminary data from a new study. But the study is still being analyzed, and it's too early to be sure of the findings, experts caution.
