Hello, i'm 21 yrs old and I had massive blood loss enough to be considered for blood transfusion. I was rushed into emergency and turns out I am anemic. I was prescribed iron pill as well as ortho1/35. I had never taken any bcp and I know that side effects vary among each individuals but if anyone in this forum has tried this I was hoping if I could hear some of the side effects encountered.

I also researched and read posts on this forum but I am still not certain about what blood spotting is. In addition, I read that many women experienced weight gain and/or acne.
