I've been on Levonor/eth Estradiol 0.15/0.03mg T for a few months now and have experienced some mild side effects like headache and weight gain. I was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences. I've also heard horror stories about the serious side effects like blood clots and high blood pressure. How common are these and what should I be looking out for? It's overwhelming trying to figure out whether what I'm experiencing is normal or if I should be worried.

Blood clots are rare but serious. If you suddenly experience severe leg pain, chest pain, or shortness of breath, it is extremely important to go to the ER. I had a friend who ignored these symptoms and it turned out to be a blood clot. She was lucky to catch it in time. Trust me, better to be safe than sorry.

Good lord... The side effects list is scary. I just started and am a nervous wreck. I didn’t experience much outside of headachess, but I’m still watching for something worse.

I'm a nurse and I've seen a few patients have issues with fluid retention. It's not fun, but managing diet and exercise can help a lot. Also, if you notice sudden swelling in your legs, call your doctor immediately.

I switched to this pill from a different one and noticed a significant improvement in my mood. However, I've been experiencing some dark patches on my face. It's probably the sun exposure, so I've started wearing sunscreen more religiously. Definitely a good idea to avoid tanning beds too!

Ladies, if you experience any severe headache or sudden vision changes, go to the ER. It could be a sign of high blood pressure or even a stroke. It's not worth risking your health. Better safe than sorry!
