A member asked:
Can you still experience the side effects of the combined birth control pill even after having been taking it for over a year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Certain side effects of BCPs are not really side effects. They are changes that are normally seen with BCPs. For you it may be a nuisance. However, they can remain with you as long as you are on it. The most common is increased appetite. Good luck!
