"do not take this. do not take this. i&#039;m 26 and weigh 135 lbs. i started taking trinessa in july 2016 and one month later, i&#039;m in the hospital coughing up blood with uncontrollable pain in my side. they did a ct and it came back that i had a blood clot in my left lung. they said my birth control caused it. i became so swollen in my legs just 2 days before the clot went into my lung. i&#039;m a very healthy woman and this medication almost took my life. 



please be careful. it&#039;s been 4 months and i&#039;m still short of breath. 40% of my lung died because it wasn&#039;t getting oxygen. i&#039;m on blood thinners twice a day. don&#039;t think this can&#039;t happen to you. estrogen thickens your blood.  i&#039;m just so thankful i didn&#039;t have a stroke."
