Birth control

So I meet my surgeon today and he told me I have to stop my birth control for surgery. I'm currently on depo. Any idea why I have to stop my birth control?

    I have to stop mine 4 weeks before surgery, and can't take them until 5 weeks afer surgery. Birth control can lead to an increased chance of developing a blood clot...this is why.
