Not much: You may have some slight nausea for the first few days, but if you take the pill at dinner time every night, you can minimize the side effect. You may have some mid cycle spotting the first few cycles, but this should disappear. Any headache, vision problems or anything that just doesn't feel right should be discussed with your healthcare provider. Most women do very well on the pill.
