Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.
Common side effects for birth control pills include; intermenstrual spotting, nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, weight gain, mood changes, missed period and decreased libido.
It wouldn't be out of the ordinary for you to experience the symptoms you describe as your body is adjusting, However, I'm wondering what the specific side effects are per the manufacturer?
I would call the doctor's office or even speak with the pharmacy and share your symptoms and ask questions.
