"i was on reclipsen for less than 2 weeks and it caused blood clots. i had dvt and pulmonary embolisms. i&#039;m one of the lucky ones that lived through those diagnoses. i had taken other bc on the past and always had terrible side effects but never had an issue with clots. i also have no other contributing factors besides being overweight. i was 26 and never smoked in my life. no genetic issues either. i advise everyone to be careful when considering any birth control option. know the signs of blood clots. it could save your life.
