Has anyone had these birth control side effects?

Hi all.

I am in my early 20s, and I just started birth control for the first time in my life.

I am specifically taking sprintec. The first 3 days were fine, no side effects. Then my boobs were crazy sore on the 4th day. Then that passed. I got EXTREMELY depressed days 5-7. Worse than I ever had in my life. Bless my boyfriend for dealing with my hormones. Its now the 10th day of taking the pill, and for the past 3 days I have felt the way a girl does just before she gets her period. (Feeling fat, bloated, cramping, etc.) has anyone experienced this the first month of the pill?

My doctor said the first month was going to be an adjustment. I want to stick it out in hopes that this "period feeling" will end soon. If it doesn't, I definitely can't feel like this while I'm on the pill! Gaining weight and feeling like I am on my period will definitely depress me.

Any advice will help!

Im on sprintec 2. Ive been on it for a few years. It will get better. What time of day do you take it? What is your diet like?

I take it at 7pm everyday.

I eat healthy. (Turkey bacon, eggs, yogurt, or fruit for breakfast. A salad or some sort of light lunch. Protien shakes. For dinner meats/fish and veggies.) I occasionally binge on chocolate/icecream or pizza/chinese. Haha.

For years I said I would never take birth control. I refused to put anything into my body that would trick it.

But my boyfriend and I live together now. We have sex much more often. I cannot get pregnant!

It'll pass. I remember feeling like I was suffering from pregnancy like symptoms the first month or two I was on the patch.

It went away. Your body just has to adjust. Be concerned if it doesn't change after 6 mos - a year.

Also keep in mind that sometimes you have to kinda weed through different forms. I got away from the patch because it was too strong. Ended up on the ring for quite awhile and recently switched due to doc recommendation for health reasons.

Are only 6-7 fertile days each month, it is very easy to know what they are and without poisons. No fault if you do it right, it's so easy ... are crazy if poison.

Ok, I close my mouth , what to tell to as empowered and intelligent women allways ready for semen ... and poisoned. PharMafia will cares you 😉
Natural method works perfect, is power, better health, better sex and free. Maybe Too much " good" for stupid and proud of being ignorant people.

Even if you make a mistake you poison a day, not all day...with 20 years old.
Hormones ruin health, character and sex. We all now this.

We all Know this...excuse.

The women in my family gained a bunch of water weight from birth control and were never able to get rid of it. Don't know if this is happening to you but I'd be worried. Maybe see if anyone else in your family had problems.

lol

If you think the rhythm method is the most effective, that's hilarious. Ask the Catholics how that's been working for them.

As any method fails if you do it wrong. If does well effectiveness as pills,s 99% . That obviously does not give money and maintains dependent and ills characters. It's really easy to regulate your cycle with moonlight and know without a doubt what day is ovulating but for system is not liable, powerful , connected with your body, is machined everything and that makes that poison to women.

Women with pills is as subject as having 20 children because her husband is used as a receptacle semen, children, utero with legs. It's just a more refined subjugation to what authorities say, they believe themselves free but ends embittered and ill. They will not tell the truth , only exchanged a relegion for other, it seems that something changes but does not. Sure most of our grandmothers , mine too, had no contraceptive methods and still controlled their birth . Women have been stripped of our wisdom , knowledge of plants etc etc ... Robots . Just say open your minds because it is poaible , I 'm the proof and also poison me some years as an idiot.

And especially sex is better, more healthy, varied, you are connected with yourself, with your body, you are powerfull and man is involved, implicated. All advantages.

And safe this is too much ... but I think we are not a replacement engine and says official medicine , pregnancy can be controlled with the mind ... some ancient tribes in Europe they did. We all choose free and powerful or slave -dependent, go forward more to ... Choose!

Read, study, belive in your own power and buy a "ruda" plant.

Your crystal and dreamcatcher method of logic is sad and scary. Please stop giving birth control advice.

I understand what you're saying, but some of what you're saying has no scientific basis.

I understand and have researched the hell out of birth control because I was iffy going on it myself. I understand the risks involved and was very cautious in which form I chose.

Pills are the stupidest form, but easiest to take. Too much room for error, though.
The patch is convenient but the way it releases is a little too irregular.
The ring is nice, but the side effects that can occur with long term use, especially if you have a family history of the side effects can put you at risk.
The norplant is a good, long term one to use, but the same concern as the rest is that the hormones are systemic.
Depo is just crazy. It's a high dose of injected hormones that can only be used for a year or two because of side effects such as bone loss and thinning hair.
At the moment, the IUD is considered one of the safest and most effective forms of birth control since it's localized and as long as it's inserted correctly, has and insanely low percentage of error. There is a hormonal and non hormonal version for those who aren't a fan of messing with hormones.
Condoms, when used correctly have a high rate of success and are protection against STDs.
Pulling out, isn't exactly the most foolproof.
Abstinence is the most effective with a 100% efficacy rating.

This hippie, "natural" way to approach things is fine and nice in theory, but it's not practical for most of the population. Especially this stupid talk of controlling your lady bits with your mind and eating shit from a field. ...just no.

Egg lives one day, four sperm, let 7 fertile day for having margin of error. This is SCIENCE, SCIENCE! Your sacred God! if you know when ovulates (and is very very easy), there is no more to discuss. To Everything else poison and trickery XXI century. Are your lives, just give my opinion and experience, you can save the stakes, torches and garlic, I was leaving...Haha

And some shit field has not killed anyone Omg!,Pharmafia killer millions Every day with impunity. Darwin rules ladies.

And this is the big problem in world, some false comfort in exchange for their damn zombies sick stupid lives.
