Katy Russell began to experience severe mood swings, outbursts of anger and weight gain
A young woman claims the contraceptive pill left her so 'nasty and rude' that she ruined friendships and was dubbed 'Rowdy Russell' - as doctors didn't realise she was intolerant to it. Katy Russell started using contraception aged 15 in a bid to relieve her period symptoms and then while in a relationship in September 2021 was prescribed the combined mini pill.
Katy said her options were limited as she suffered migraines but decided to try the implant to save her relationships but claims her contraceptive experience only got worse. And when she began to experience extreme bloating, back acne and a six-month heavy period, she had the implant removed and the hormonal coil fitted in January 2023.
"I either become a nasty person and have all these struggles or potentially get pregnant and have a child and I don't want that. I formed a nickname for myself from my friends. They called me 'Rowdy Russell'. "I couldn't look in a mirror and understand what I look like normally because I was so bloated all the time. People wouldn't think this was actually happening because I was on contraception so in my head I thought people were going to judge me, so I would not allow myself to feel uncomfortable I would just cover up.
The marketing executive also claims her coil experience caused her to develop an ovarian cyst which she is now having to have surgically removed. Katy said: "It was a bad procedure because I had two ladies basically cutting my arm and pulling my arm open trying to find this implant which had moved.
