Alright. Here are my symptoms:
- Runny nose
- Stuffy nose
- Warm cheeks and forehead, no fever
- Dizziness
- Eating two and a half times as much as I normally do (started when I began to take BCPs [ Loestrin Fe 24] or whatever it's called)
- Breast soreness
- Period is whacky still, despite BCPs
For those whom don't know, BCPs are Birth Control Pills.
I have had sex within the last two months, if anybody was going to ask about it.
So, what's wrong with me, exactly?

Sounds like more than one thing going on. Maybe allergies and side effects of BCPs. I would call your OB/GYN about it.

I would stop taking the pills and see if the symptoms stop. Use condoms or some other method in the mean time. If the symptoms stop, you know it was the pills. Go to your doctor and tell them and see if there is another family of BCP's without the same ingredients that might work without all of those side effects. It could just be allergies, but I would check it out. I do know that BCP's will cause you to gain weight.

In my uneducated opinion :D I would say half those things are side effects of the pill, and the other half are maybe dietary? Try drinking more water and maybe starting a multi-vitamin. And if you aren't getting fruits veggies and some kind of protein every day, you should start. And the water is important, there is no good subtitute. Lots of problems can be fixed by keeping yourself hydrated. And if you do that and the first three or four problems you have listed don't go away within a couple of days, see a doctor.

When did you start taking BC? If you have just started taking BC, your periods may still be irregular. Some times people do have a tendency to gain weight. Have increased sensitive to breast. Their Blood pressure may also go up. It may be a reason why you are light headed and warm checks. Your body may just be trying to adjust to the new hormone level. Did you have a pregnancy test done prior to starting the pill. It may be a false negative. I would get tested again? Do you have allergies? Is your immune system down? To me it sounds like you have two things going on .

The pill u are on...u need to throw it out.
These pills do not benefit the health but is harmful to the body.
U need to just use latex free condoms if u want sex.
Eat strawberries if u are dizzy. Use Vicks Inhaler for nose..could be allergies.
Breast soreness...use castor oil or olive oil on breast.
Warm cheeks and forehead, get coolin relief from your fridge, fill bottle with water and freeze

Cold? Allergies? Not taking your Bcp's properly?
Stay away from caffein!
See a dr. asap, for side effects.

Exactly? Do you think you can be diagnosed over Yahoo questions? Why don't you go see your doctor that prescribed the BCP to you? I'm sure he/she is much more qualified to answer your question.

If you are having problems that you think are related to your BC ask your gyno. dr. They can switch your brand you may have an reaction to the amount of estogen in the pills. That was the problem for me and they gave me a lower dose. My symptoms were different though.

first off, get a pregnancy test, an "HCG" which tells you yes or no...if yes, ask for a quantitative pregnancy test...this tells you how far along you are...such as weeks...etc...then you have time to decide whether to continue gestation or terminate as the case may be...each case has a different, yet correct decision...jk what you chose is the correct decision for you....
