530AM~STORMWARN FORECAST OPEN-CLIP

530AM~STORMWARN FORECAST-WXWALL

Even though Tropical Storm Isaac continues to move farther away from Southwest Florida, we'll still be on the outer edge of the storm's circulation today, keeping those hit or miss tropical showers around through the day. Any shower that moves in will move very swiftly from south to north at a pace of about 40-50 mph. A coastal flood advisory is in effect through this afternoon with tide expected to rise 1-2 feet above average, and we'll also continue to see pretty high surf in the Gulf.

The good news about today is we expect less cloud cover and more sunshine, but our sky will have the potential to go from blue to gray very quickly with the scattered tropical showers around. The extra sunshine should be able to send our temperatures into the upper 80s through the afternoon.

Winds won't be quite as strong today, but we'll still notice some gusty breezes, especially along the coast. Our wind will be out of the south today between 10-20 mph with gusts potentially reaching 25-30 mph.

Our weather will gradually transition into a more normal pattern as we go through the remainder of the week. By Wednesday, we'll still see some wrap around moisture from Isaac bring in some tropical showers, but we'll also notice a nice mix of sun and clouds.

WOMEN BIRTH CONTROL-ON CAM

STUDIES LOOKING AT THE RISKS OF VARIOUS FORMS OF BIRTH CONTROL ARE CONSTANTLY UNDER WAY. BUT THE RESULTS FROM ALL THE STUDIES CAN BE CONFUSING.

SHOULD YOU WORRY ABOUT YOUR BIRTH CONTROL RISKS?

WOMEN BIRTH CONTROL-PKG

DR. CHERISE WILEY DID SOMETHING LOTS OF WOMEN DO.SHE SWITCHED BIRTH CONTROL PILLS TO SAVE MONEY. OPTING FOR A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE.

"I was on one type of birth control and in order to save costs, I was a resident at the time, I changed my birth control which increased the estrogen."

ESTROGEN INCREASES THE RISK FOR BLOOD CLOTTING AND WITHIN A MONTH WILEY'S DECISION HAD TURNED THE DOCTOR INTO A PATIENT. SHE HAD CHEST PAIN AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH.

"I was found to have a PE. as a matter of fact i had multiple PEs, which are blood clots in the lungs. so i had that immediately I was admitted into the hospital, had to be on blood thinners for a course of about six months to a year's time."

WILEY HAS A DISORDER THAT MAKES HER MORE PRONE TO BLOOD CLOTS WHICH SHE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT BEFORE IT PUSHED HER RISK FACTORS OVER THE LINE.

"That's extremely rare, but when you hear about those episodes of things happening in a young woman of reproductive age, its a pretty devastating event."

BLOOD CLOTS ARE JUST ONE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTRACEPTIVES. DR. HADDOCK SAYS STUDIES ARE CONSTANTLY UNDERWAY EXAMINING THE RISKS OF VARIOUS CONTRACEPTIVES.

"They all have different pluses and minuses and every person is different which one is going to work for them."

BUT ALL THE RESULTS FROM THOSE STUDIES CAN BE CONFUSING FOR WOMEN..

FOR EXAMPLE. IN MAY. A STUDY IN THE BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL SAID NON-ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES. LIKE RINGS, IMPLANTS AND SKIN PATCHES. CARRY A HIGHER RISK FOR BLOOD CLOTS THAT PILLS.

AND IN JUNE. A STUDY IN THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE REPORTED THAT BIRTH CONTROL PILLS WITH A MIX OF BOTH ESTROGEN AND PROGESTERONE, CAN DOUBLE A WOMAN'S RISK OF HAVING A HEART ATTACK OR STROKE

DOCTOR HADDOCK SAYS THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT ALL OF THESE RISKS ARE RARE. IN NINE YEARS SHE'S ONLY SEEN TWO BLOOD CLOT CASES RELATED TO BIRTH-CONTROL.
