Does going on birth control pills make you moody and emotional the first month?

Question

I've been off the pill for 4 yrs and recently went back on after stepping into a new relationship. Its been two weeks and I feel nausea, tired, bloated, moody, tempermental, and emotional.

I magnify every little issue w/ my bf and give him a hard time w/ everything. I cry easily over stress I've been having and for some reason I feel like the pill is adding more affect to my emotions.

Is increasing the level of estrogen affecting my body and making me this way? Please adivise, thanks!!

Answer 1

Yes, it could but I found that taking B6 either by itself or as a part of B Complex can be helpful. I would recommend talking to your doctor as well for additional suggestions.
