"i took ella at the very end of oct . i didn&#039;t experience any side effects from taking the pill initially,  and all the tests i took several times in nov were neg every time. my period did not return until feb and when it did it was one word- horrific. i was already 10 days in to my cycle when i stood up and thought i had peed my pants b/c of the amount and speed of  liquid that came out of me. i had my period in feb for 19 days, march was 25 days , april i am currently working on 17 days. thankfully there have not been anymore traumatic floods but 7 months after taking that pill i am still dealing with the effects on my cycle and the unknown for my future fertility. if i could go back and do it all over i would not have taken ella."
