Answer 1

The best thing for you would be to stop the pill and call your OB/GYN. Clot formation is one of the adverse reactions a women can have while  using oral contraceptives. Your doctor should have you tested for your Prothrombin time (cloting time) as well as a Complete blood count to evaluate you thrombocyte count ( Thrombocyte= cell fraction required for blood cloting).

You may have to switch to another contraceptive that leaves you less prone to clots.  

Answer 2

It is probably not a sign of clotting BUT you should have it checked out by a medical professional ASAP.

All the Best
