"my daughter was on this birth control for a few years.   i lost her to a pulmonary embolism last year.   she was only 19.   do i feel this pill played some part in what happened absolutely.    be careful and weigh your options.    i took birth control and not for one minute did i think this would happen but everyone&#039;s body acts differently and tolerates things differently.   there needs to be a safer way for young girls."
