I am a 35 year old woman that does not smoke and was recently on the Seasonale birth control pill. I started taking the pill in March06 and was hospitalized in January 07 due to multiple blood clots in my lungs. The clots caused damage to my right lung. I started taking birth control at age 17 and never encountered problems until Seasonale.

My 35yr old daughter took seasonale and a week later developed a blood clot, had a stroke and died. Yes it needs to be taken off the market.

I was prescribed seasonale for irregular periods by my gyn about 3 yrs ago, I was assured by this doctor it was perfectly safe because I was a non smoker. About 3 months taking these pills I developed large pulminary embolisoms in both lungs! I almost died! Is there any compensation for our pain, suffering, and sometimes deaths?

Old drug or natural things more safe.
New drug needs more time to check the safety.
Take care.

I started taking the pills when I was 17 and less then three months later I was in the hospital for 80 blood clots in my legs and abdomen I spent over two weeks in two different hospitals and almost died from complications, this is not a safe product and should not be offered to women.

I started taking Seasonale just two weeks ago. Last friday I developed blood clots in my leg. I have taken other BCPs for years, none with any side effects. Only Seasonale.

Daily Horoscope for January 7

Aquarius

Avoid making promises today, or even believing in other people's promises. Today is not a good day to make commitments, as they are not likely to materialise. Taking risks is a no-no. Try to relax until the numbers are in your favour. Those pursuing their career will benefit.
