Desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol
birth control
"I took reclipsen for around 10 years with no issues. My doctor said I could ride this out until age 50 as I didn't have any risk factors (except age as I was over 40).  Out of the blue, I got a groin to knee DVT and the cause was this stupid pill!!!! I am so very lucky it didn't become a PE and I could have suffered a horrible disability or worse.  7 months later and I still have long term effects from the DVT and the damage to my leg caused by it.  When I asked by doctor if they would be reporting as an adverse reaction to the FDA, she said "oh, they already know." which tells me, the side effects (especially the serious ones) are under-reported!!!!!

Find another method of BC!!!! This isn't worth it!"
