Q: Side Effects?
asked by: jalapino on December 19th, 2004

I just started taking the pill (ortho tri-cyclen lo) two weeks ago. Since then, my breasts have been swollen and tender and just generally annoying. I've also had a bit of an upset stomach, bloated feeling, and gas. I don't know if this is normal. I basically feel as though i've put on weight or i'm pmsy, but I know better. Is this normal? Could something else be wrong? I'm just paranoid, but if anyone had a similar experience, maybe you could let me know, and whether or not it ended.

Sounds like normal side effects that occur when you go on the pill.. I went off the pill a year ago and went on the depo shot (which has no estrogen) but recently went back on the estrogen based birth control.. I've been having those same side effects this month because of it. They do wear off after you get adjusted to being on the pill...
