Q: Mini Pill Side Effects...

Right. Lol. Ive been on the mini pill (cerazette) for coming up to 2 weeks now. It the first pill ive been on since I was a virgin prior to last thursday. Anyway before going on the pill, my boyfriend and I had foreplay on the 3rd of march. Iam almost positive that his seamen did not come near anywhere that it shudnt.... But he's paranoid. Anyway... Before going on the pill I was fine... But since doing so I have felt.. Bloated, sore breasts and anxious of pregnancy. I heard that that was also a side effect esp. As the increase in progesterone levels in cerazette..... Oh.. After the 3rd... I was due for my period on the 18th... 2 weeks later... Which came normally. I was just wondering if this was my body ajusting to the pill.... Like I said I had never had sex before. And my symptoms include...

Sore breast (slight enlargment), bloastedness, mood swings.. And very emotonal periods... I cried for 2 hours last week....!! Lol.... Xxxx

Yes, those are normal side effects of birth control pills. After a couple of months your body should adjust, but if it doesn't (or if the side effects are especially bad and interfering with your daily life) I would ask to change to another pill.

Thank you.. Its the pregnancy feeling I dont like lol. But it changes.. Like one week I seriously consider the idea that I "may" be... And then the other week I feel like im so stupid and its the pill.. I hope it is just my body changing... I have not felt sick, nauseated, spotted or headaches/fatigue etc: just very slight breast pain (only when touched) and bloatedness.... Xxx

Pregnancy tests are much less accurate if you take it before your period is due. I believe ept is something around 95% accurate if taken after your period is due, but if taken even one or two days before that goes down to around 60% - that's a lot of room for error! But read the instructions on your hpt carefully to find out. I would wait until after your period is due.
I was never on the mini pill, just the regular pills, but I had breast tenderness, bloating, and mood swings around the time my period was due and a bit when I first started the pill. So I wouldn't worry, but take the test to ease your mind!
