Not necessarily: It can take your body 3+ months to adjust to all hormonal contraception, including birth control pills. It is not uncommon to get sxs like breast tenderness, nausea, cramping, and irregular brown spotting or bleeding like you. Be sure to take your pill everyday, ideally around the same time. You can try taking Ibuprofen or Naproxen for the cramps and spotting. See your dr if sxs persist or worsen.
