Bleeding between menstrual cycles, breast pain, stomach aches, nausea.

Spotting, or light bleeding outside of your normal period, can occur when using hormonal contraception, especially within the first few months of use. If spotting persists, it's important to consider factors like consistency in taking the pill, gastrointestinal issues, new medications, stress, or smoking. Changing to a different contraceptive pill with varying levels of estrogen and progestin may help alleviate spotting and other symptoms like breast tenderness, abdominal pain, and nausea. If you experience prolonged heavy bleeding, it could be a side effect of your birth control and may require a consultation with a healthcare provider to evaluate and potentially adjust your contraceptive regimen. It's important to monitor these symptoms and seek medical advice if needed.
