I've been on birth control for the past few months and the pain is horrible! I've gained at least 10 lbs, cramps during my period are unbearable, its an extremely heavy flow, my breasts have grown an entire cup size, and my temper is bad! Has anyone else had these problems?? I thought BC was supposed to eliminate bad periods :(

Every one reacts diffrently to every drug. I would see your doctor, let him know the side effects you are experiencing. He or she can change the type of B/C you are taking to see if it works any better.

you should talk to you doctor about your symptoms, but your breasts growing is completly normal that happened to me too also the gaining of weight is all retained water. If you arent taking you BC at the same time everyday try doing that maybe then it will control your hormones better. It also might just be that brand of BC.

Wow, switch to a different brand. Try Yasmin, it is a different hormone structure than other types of BC so itll have different effects. I know it is great for acne too. Either way, switch to something else....cause that is not normal.

These are the common side effect of pill. You ask your doctor to suggest you another pill with low potency of harmones. I don't claim all will go at once but it will become much lesser & bearable also within 4 5 months it will go.

Some people cannot tolerate birth control pills and you seem to be one of them. Call your doc and report all of this to him/her and they can maybe try a low dose birth control. I had severe migraines when I took birth control no matter what they tried so once I got married I never took it again.

hormonal birth control is not for everyone. it does me in every time, i hate birth control pills. I think you need to try some different pills and if it doesn't go away, consider another bc method.

this is when you consider which you're sending the hormones with the aid of your finished gadget, which could fairly mess with you. in case you opt for beginning administration without area outcomes, attempt to get Mirena, an IUD (intra-uterine gadget). It does have some hormones, yet because of the fact this is further on on your reproductives (fairly of traveling with the aid of the whole physique), the area outcomes are minimum. i could be responsive to, I easily have one and that i looooove it.

Whoa, darlin, you need to go see the doc that prescribed them ans get something else. There are so many kinds to choose from. You are on the wrong ones.

That definitely is not supposed to happen. My cramps got worse the first three months. I think you should talk to your gynocologist, because that sounds like misery!

Go to your gyno and get another prescription. I knew a girl that was taking BC and she grew a penis. Weird.
