Are there any side effects or taking birth control pills?
While the majority of girls and women who use the birth control pill experience no side effects, some women experience side effects such as: bleeding between periods weight gain nausea breast tenderness headaches mood changes blood clots (usually occur only in women over 35 who smoke) Most of these side effects improve after 3 months on the Pill, if they don’t your health care provider may prescribe a different oral contraceptive which may work better for you with less side effects. Other side effects of the birth control pill that make most women happy are: lighter periods milder menstrual cramps improved acne protection against certains types of breast disease, ovarian cysts, anemia, and uterine cancer. BUT THE DOWN FALL HERE IS….THE PILL DOESNT PROTECT YOU FROM SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES ONLY PREGNANCY !!!!!
