Hi RonGun
Yes, there are side effects of birth control pills, although the majority are not serious. Side effects include:
- Nausea
- Weight gain
- Sore or swollen breasts
- Small amounts of blood, or spotting, between periods
- Lighter periods
- Mood changes
The following side effects, easily remembered by the word "ACHES," are less common but more serious. If you experience any of these, contact your doctor immediately. If you cannot reach your doctor, go to an emergency room or urgent care center for evaluation. These symptoms may indicate a serious disorder, such as liver disease, gallbladder disease, stroke, blood clots, high blood pressure, or heart disease. They include:
- Abdominal pain (stomach pain)
- Chest pain
- Headaches (severe)
- Eye problems (blurred vision)
- Swelling or aching in the legs and thighs
If you wish to continue with birth control pills for whatever reasons, try taking them along with meals. Better discontinue them for some time and consult a doctor for other options. Visit an ER if any of these symptoms aggravates further. Good luck
