Are there any side affects from being on the pill?!


Question: Are there any side affects from being on the pill!?
I've been on the pill now since about Tuesday, I've felt more energetic, I've had to use the bathroom like every 15/20 minutes-1 hour, and I just started feeling nauseous!. So I would like to know, are there any side affects from being on the pill!? Please give me good answers, and nothing stupid!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Some common minor side effects of birth control pills can include some mild nausea when first starting birth control pills, spotting or breakthrough bleeding, breast tenderness, mood changes, decreased sex drive, weight gain, cervical changes and vaginal discharge!.

Some rare but serious side effects can include blood clots, abdominal pain, chest pain (also shortness of breath), headaches (especially those that are new, severe, or associated with persistent dizziness, difficulty speaking, fainting, numbness or weakness in extremities), eye problems (blurred vision or loss of vision), severe leg pain (and/or redness and swelling in the calf or thigh), high blood pressure, liver tumors, breast cancer risk or cervical cancer risk!.

I would recommend that if your symptoms persists and continues for longer than 3-6 months, that you consult with your doctor as your doctor may need to adjust/switch you to another brand of the pill!.

Good luck :)

your pill packet should come with a pamphlet with a list of side effects but these can range and not all of them will or wont happen to you as every body is different!. I know when I was on the pill, my main side effect was weight gain and I also couldn't tolerate contact lenses!. Upside was that periods were regular and painless!. Now I'm off the pill as me personally, I do not wish to go back on it!. With heading to the loo every 15/20 mins then it's quite possible that you may have the start of a urinary infection!. If you are concerned though, go check it out with the doctor, they are there to help you!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

there is more than one kind of pill, so there may be diff effects from each kind!. you can put on weight, get thrush, headaches, high blood pressure etc!.
you can ask your doc to change which pill you are on, if it doesn't agree with you!.
if you have only been on it a few days, you may just be adjusting to it!.
it's really important not to smoke while you're on the pill, too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
