    Microgynon 30 problems

    Hello

    I'm new and I'm just wanted to post as I have a few problems about the new pill I have started and wanted to see if anyone else had any similar experiences.

    I have started Microglynon just under a month ago. I switched to it after having problems with my last pill (Loestrin 20), which I had been on for approximately 3 years, but I changed after some problems started arising.

    I have some pretty bad symptoms with my new pill, which seem dangerously close to pregnancy symptoms. I have bad nausea every day, my breasts are tender to touch and have increased dramatically in size, I have a dull achy back pain all the time and I'm getting cravings for strange foods as well as sudden stomach bloating. I am really careful when taking the pill, I take it at the same time every day as I am at University (as is my partner), and pregnancy is not the route we were wanting to go down any time soon. So I was hoping these were typical symptoms of this pill. Has anyone else had any of these with this pill, or maybe different pills?

    Thank yous!

    The pill has the same hormones that impact pregnancy. Any symptoms that can be caused by different points of your menstrual cycle or pregnancy can be caused by birth control pills. That pill may just not be a good fit for you.
