I have never been on the pill, but I'm just curious if anyone on here has ever had a serious side effect from the pill, such as blood clot, heart attack, stroke, or anything else serious, or if you know anyone who has. I'm curious just how common these serious complications are.

Well they do give you the statistical likelihood of all of these events in the pill literature.... Apparently you are more likely to be killed falling off a ladder than you are from taking the pill.

There needs to be ONE pill thread, rather than 40. Just saying.

My friend was on the pill and started getting really major cramps all day, everyday and now her ovaries are all fucked and she might not be able to have babies.

however, this chick is a notorious hyperchondriac so she could be just full of shit...

my friend Kate was suicidal after taking the pill...she had to go on four different types before she found one that didn't make her sick
