"Took this pill to have control over when my period would start. Into the second pack, and I have started feeling very anxious, nervous, and panicky. I’ve started crying for little reasons. Just threw the pack away. I would much rather have my period come at the wrong time than control it and feel like this."

"My daughter went to the doctor on April 30th, 2020, and complained of cramps and discomfort during her menstrual cycle, which was why she was there to see the doctor. No further investigation was done by the doctor, for example, a scan, x-ray, or referral to a gynecologist. Instead, she was given a birth control pill, Alesse-28. On May 21st, 2020, two and a half weeks later, she had a pulmonary embolism at work and died. The coroner said it was the medication that caused her death. It turned out that she had a benign tumor of the uterus, which could have been easily treated. She was a healthy 47-year-old woman-nothing else wrong with her. Please rethink birth control!"

"Wow, I’m kind of shocked by how dramatically this pill has affected my mental well-being. Almost immediately, I was extremely irritable, and I actually had a meltdown for the first time in years. Now, after 3 months of taking it, I’m stopping because I’m very depressed, angry, and incredibly irritable. I do have a history of depression, but I was very mentally stable before I started, my psychologist even commented on how well I was doing. My left breast grew like a cup size, and even though I’ve been skipping the break, I’m spotting, cramping (though not nearly as bad as before), and feeling nauseous for a more drawn-out, lighter version of my usual period. So for me, there were no benefits, only a huge strain on my relationship."

"I've been on Alesse-28 for 5 years now. The first 3 periods had me feeling extra PMS symptoms like cramps (not THAT bad though, but I normally hardly ever get them) and general moodiness, I think, but for the majority of the time I've been on it, I hadn't had any bad side effects with the exception of the loss of my sex drive. I think it was a fine price to pay for the relief of 2-3 week-long bleeds (and god-awful anemia), but I'm kind of over it now, lol."
