"i was on it for six months, had migraines and vomiting every period, unexplainable tingliness in hands and lower extremeties... and then may 23, 2017 i go to er for pain in chest and difficulty breathing, they diagnosed me with pulmonary embolisms, heart damage and a lung infarction. i now have chronic venous insufficiency, which is constant pain showering down my calves and feet. taking this pill to avoid pregnancy has nearly killed me and if i do choose to become pregnant i am at a high risk of reclotting and or dying. worst choice of my life. i am 23, glad to be alive. my life is forever changed. i am on an anticoagulant for life since i did not test positive for any known blood or autoimmune disorder. be weary of using hormonal therapy!"
