"do not take!!! i was only on this pill (only birth control i&#039;ve ever taken) and it was awful...a period every two weeks, awful cramps and mood swings, weight gain, and to top it all off a blood clot in my lung! i don&#039;t smoke and am not over 35 (supposedly the only things that would trigger a serious reaction) so this is all the pill. i&#039;ve been off of it for months and am still having issues. i have to be on a blood thinner indefinitely and live with the constant fear of a clot reaching my heart. please do not take this pill."
