effects from the birthcontrol pill?what are they?good and bad?

Question

can someone get me a list??

Answer 1

When starting birth control pills woman may experience headaches, nausea, break through bleeding (irregular bleeding), increased appetite and breast tenderness. Rare side effects that need a doctors attention are dizziness, stroke, changes in eye sight or blurred vision, mood swings or depression, loss of sex drive and blood clots.

Birth control pills do not cause weight gain. They do not effect everyone the same way. For example, I experienced no negative side effects when going on the pill. I got lighter more predictable and optional periods, decreased pms symptoms including decreased mood swings during 'that time'.

While it only takes 7 days to be protected from pregnancy while taking birth control pills, it can take up to 3 months to adjust to the pills. During the first 3 months of going on 'the pill' or other hormonal birth control, women experience the most side effects but, side effects can appear even years later when the bodies natural hormonal levels change. Usually, if a woman can't tolerate one brand of birth control, she can try another brand and be happy. Ortho-tricyclen killed my sex drive but, Desogen (also known as Marvelon) brought it back full force.

Answer 3

I was on birth control pills for 11yrs and the only real side effects I had was breakthrough bleeding.(occasionaly spotting between periods) but it didn't happen to often so it wasn't to bad of a problem. It also seemed to clear up my skin but I don't know if it was because I just got older. But as long as it did what it was supposed to(no babies) then I could deal.

Answer 4

The most common side effects are changes in menstrual periods, including:

Very light or skipped periods.
Bleeding between periods (spotting), which usually decreases after using a hormonal method for 3 to 4 months.

Less common side effects include:

Nausea and vomiting, especially during the first month of use. This side effect usually goes away after the first few months of use.
Frequent or more severe headaches. Migraine headaches may get worse.
Weight gain.
Breast tenderness for the first few months.
Depression or mood changes.
Darkening of the skin on the upper lip, under the eyes, or on the forehead (chloasma). This may slowly fade after you stop using hormonal methods, but in some cases, it is permanent.
Decreased interest in sex.

The following symptoms, called ACHES, are rare but serious and should be reported to your health professional immediately.

Abdominal pain that is severe or persists may be a sign of blood clots (thrombophlebitis) in the pelvis, liver blood clots or tumors, or gallbladder disease.
Chest pain may be a sign of blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism), heart attack, or heart disease. Smoking increases this risk.
Headaches that are severe may be a sign of stroke, migraine, or hypertension. Smoking increases this risk.
Eye problems, such as blurred vision or loss of vision, may be a sign of migraine, blood clots in the eye, or a change in the shape of the cornea.
Severe leg pain or sudden swelling of one leg may be a sign of leg blood clots (thrombophlebitis) or deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Answer 5

look on the package insert. one of the big bad side effects is the risk of developing a clot. do not smoke while on birth control, this increases your risk of developing a blood clot, possibly leading to serious consequences.

Good side effects, less acne in some case, regular controlled periods, and less severe
