My daughter 28 years old was on Reclipsen for one year and developed a DVT in her leg which traveled to her lung and now has a pulmonary embolus. The ER doctor and her pulmonologist both state that her birth control pill caused the blood clot and BOTH highly told her to get off birth control pills. She now is on Coumadin and Lovenox while they are working on getting her INR safely elevated. Thi ... Show Full Comment

This is a very emotional time for her having to adjust to a new lifestyle and she has never been a smoker so that was a plus for her.

I took it for about two months and I have never felt so hungry in my life. I actually gained about 5 pounds (that's a lot on my tiny frame). I count calories and saw the numbers increasing daily since starting Reclipsen. I had a loss of libido too(probably from feeling like I was starved all the time). I would have to eat every hour on the hour and still did not feel full, it was awful. I deci ... Show Full Comment

I decided to go back on the Beyaz, which doesn't do much for the libido part, but at least I don't feel like a slave to food anymore.

This BC works, I've never had a scare/gotten pregnant, it's a pill a day and easy to take. However, I am not satisfied. I've been on this pill for a while now, and I believe I've started feeling ill side effects.. I am a very happy person, and I've started becoming depressed and angry.

I've been on this pill for a while now, and I believe I've started feeling ill side effects.. I am a very happy person, and I've started becoming depressed and angry. I am occasionally nauseous for no apparent reason, and my sex-drive is non-existent at this point, and that really upsets me because I want to love my husband and I just can't. I'm going to the DR ASAP to either get switched or at least talk about it. I do not recommend!

I just finished my first pack after being off of birth control for 2-3 years. I am 21 years old. It has been a miserable month. My joints are achy, I have FREQUENT migraines/headaches, I never want to have sex, and most of all I am irritable and on edge. Like, I wanna flip out on someone for any petty reason. I've been taking everything and anything out on my partner. I am making an appt. t ... Show Full Comment

I just finished my first pack after being off of birth control for 2-3 years. I am 21 years old. It has been a miserable month. My joints are achy, I have FREQUENT migraines/headaches, I never want to have sex, and most of all I am irritable and on edge. Like, I wanna flip out on someone for any petty reason. I've been taking everything and anything out on my partner. I am making an appt. to switch immediately. The only pro is that my skin seems a lot softer and clearer but I'll take some acne over all of the other God-Awful Symptoms. The doctor was quick to prescribe Reclepsin to me... Seemed kind of sketchy. It is the same level of hormones everyday until you take the placebo pills. Anyway, I would never recommend this to anyone. I'm gonna see about getting onto Ortho-Lo again. GOOD. LUCK!

Bad headaches, migraines, bloat, moody, hair loss and difficulty losing weight .I work out 4-5 days a week. Weight training and cardio burning 400-1000 calories a day & eat pretty decent. I can not lose any weight no matter what! I gained 20 lbs on this & not able to lose it. Trying microgestin for now.
