Are you on anything else that could explain it? Anti depressants and anti anxiety medications are more known for those types of side effects. Sore breasts and mood swings could be the birth control, but everything together suggests maybe something else.

Otherwise, I would go to a doc and ask- it may be something else that you do not want to blow off just because you're on the pill.

Anyway, you should report your side effects even if they are common. Most side effects of b/c pills are supposed to go away within three months or so, if they don't, you should switch so you aren't miserable. But in this case, I'd find out sooner because it doesn't sound good.

No i'm not on anything else.. they wanted to put me on prozac but i heard nothing but bad about it and wasnt sure i needed it anyways. Just had alot going on at that time and i just couldnt deal with it. But yea i'm going to go talk to a dr the only problem is with the clinic i went to they ripped me off so i have to find another.. but yea the memory problems have gone away i think it was just over stress and to much going on. but the bruising and sore nipples are still there some not as bad though.

Yeah, side effects like that are supposed to go away within a few months. If you can't wait it out, you can switch to something else once you settle on a new clinic.

Good luck! Smile Hope life is less stressful for you.
