No I know this coz I’m a nurse. I told them I’m not coming off it coz I’m aware the risk of DVT or PE is sooooo Extreamly low! I had mr traynor. They advise u to stop it but like I said coz I’m aware of the low risk due to what I do for a living I didn’t stop it for the simple fact it would mess my periods up and I didn’t want that, if ur fainting u need to go see ur GP coz the pill shouldn’t cause that, there may be underlying issues such as anaemia, postural hypotension etc xx
