If symptoms persist longer than three months, consult your medical practitioner who may be able to solve the problem by changing your pill. Some women experience slight nausea which may be relieved by taking the pill along with a snack just before going to sleep or with a meal. Continue your pills as instructed and you will continue to be protected. This is not unusual and most commonly occurs during the first two or three cycles. If this bleeding is heavier than light flow or lasts more than a few days, you should contact your practitioner.
Emotional changes can be due to life stressors, birth control pills, or a combination of both.
In some cases depression or loss of interest in sex may occur. Excercise and a healthy diet and lifestyle can be helpful, but sometimes a change of pills may be needed. A few women may develop freckling of the skin or acne, although in most cases pre-existing acne is improved by oral contraceptives. Your breasts may enlarge or become somewhat tender. If you have a history of blood clots anywhere in your body, cancer of the breast or uterus, or liver disease, you may not be able to use the pill.
