Birth Control
"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."
