I took the pill for two days but immediately suffered extreme constipation (did I mention I enjoy the anonymity of online forums?) and had heard somewhere that the pill can have that kind of effect. I don't know if it really was attributed to the pill but it wasn't worth it to test the waters because of that awful experience and also because i wasn't all on board with taking the pill in the first place. The day after I decided not to take the pill that night I was very sick. I had intense cramps for a long time the night before. Then, when I woke up, took a shower, and got out of the shower, i was extremely faint and couldn't bear to stand up. I had to blow dry my hair while sitting down. It's been two or three days since that and I just began to see blood in my discharge, or at least a strange pink-ish color. I have also experienced decreased sexual sensation and desire. Am I just going crazy and getting sick by placebo effect? Or are there actual complications to what I did?

maybe your body is just reacting to the pill differently you should try to switch to a different birth control method other then the pill

It sounds like it had nothing to do with the pills to be honest. It was probably jut coincidence that you got sick the day you started taking them. I'd try again in a month or so.
