"i began taking this because i had very heavy periods and i was tired of having a period every month. after the first pack i was a little concerned because i had breakthrough the entire 3rd month. this happened every pack. i decided to stick with it. nov. 30, 2015 i had a severe abdominal attack. i went to 2 er&#039;s that did nothing for me. they told me i had gas and to go home and take miralax. it did not work. i followed up with a gastrointerologist on monday. he immediately admitted me to the hospital. long story short....i had major liver surgery on dec. 4, 2015 to remove a hepatic adenoma that had ruptured. these were completely hormonal caused by the birth control. please stop taking this. my life was barely saved."
