    Birth Control side effects...

    I just started taking birth control again about a month ago. For the past couple weeks, I have been more tired. Is it possible for the side effects of birth control to kick in already? If it helps, I am on marvelon and I was on it about a 2 years ago as well, but I do not remember it making me tired.

    Birth control side effects can kick in from day one... But I don't recall fatigue being one of them? Hmm. Try taking a women's multi-vitamin for a couple of weeks, particularly one that includes vitamin d and iron, and see if that helps.

      I had immediate side effects from my form of birth control (like the same day), so I'd say yes.

        It was just weird because last time I was on these ones I never had side effects
