I started birth control about a month ago due to how bad my cramps were and nothing else worked. Im only 16 years old so my period still isnt regular. i've had my period for a month now and the synmtons are weird! Im always hungry and i eat the randomest foods. I frequently have to pee and i get the worst mood swings. I want to know, is this normal? And will it go away ? HELP! :-( %-) :'( :$
They sometimes say starting birthcontrol can do that to you. They say the first month or so you'll experience symptoms of being pregnant.
If you have read the label on the box of your pills than you have probably saw that the symptoms you are describing, strange cravings, eating more than usual, mood swings and nervousness, are usual side effects. If these symptoms last more than two months in a row you should definitely change the current brand because they are not the right one for you. About this matter is wise to consult your gynecologist and you shouldn’t switch pills on your own.
And there is one more thing; although you are maybe too young to start with active sex life (even your period isn’t regular yet), be aware that contraceptive pills are not going to protect you against sexual transmitted diseases so use a condom as additional protection.
I am 19 and i two was on birth control when i was 16 now im not and i still have all these symptoms. it gets better and more controlable not sure if it will ever go away but it definitly gets easier to deal with
