Hormonal Contraception: The Pill [General Discussion]
in Women's Health ·
I just want to share my experience. I developed thrombosis from taking birth control pills. It wasn't just in my legs; it reached all the way to my lungs. I was training, staying active, doing everything by the book—taking them properly—and then, out of nowhere, one day my leg starts swelling. The next, my arm is aching. I went to see a doctor, and they actually told me it was just from overtraining and suggested I cut back on the workouts. So, there I was, ending up in the hospital instead.
