I started the pill 5 days ago and have servers bloating aswell as cramps, however no period. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common side effect: It is very common for estrogen containing contraceptives to initially cause bloating and cramping, and missed period. Did you miss any pills? Any chance you could be pregnant? If so, check urine pregnnacy test. If not. give it about 3months for your body to adjust or ask your clinician for lower dose (20mcg) pill or try nuvaring. If you still don't tolerate, consider mirena, (levonorgestrel) nexpanon or DMPA.
