Varied: Some women note breast tenderness, bloating, nausea, irregular bleeding during the first 3 months of the pill. If these persist or are intolerable, you can try a different pill. Dangerous but very rare side effects are blood clots, stroke. These are more common with a family history or if you smoke and are older than 35. All side effects and complications are far less than those of pregnancy.
