I've been on it for a year and I love it!. I barely need a panty liner for like 3 days when my period comes!. It does take awhile to get used to it!. I'd recommend you give it 2-3 months and if you're still having problems talk to your doctor about using a different pill!. Everyone reacts differently!. I used to take Yasmine and had to stop because I had a headache for 3 weeks from it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Some of the common bothersome (but not usually dangerous) side effects of birth control pills include but are not limited to:

Breakthrough bleeding and spotting between periods (especially for the first few cycles)
Nausea and vomiting (this can be improved by taking Loestrin with food)
Breast tenderness and swelling
Headaches (although birth control pills can improve headaches in some women)
Acne (although birth control pills can also improve acne)
Changes in your eyes that make it more difficult to wear contact lenses
Bloating
Changes in sex drive (typically a decrease in sex drive)!.

Women are often concerned about weight gain due to birth control pills, but recent research suggests that birth control pills probably do not cause weight gain for most women (see Loestrin and Weight Gain)!.
