A member asked:
So i started new birth control pills 2 weeks ago. are these common side effects?- nausea, body aches, stomach cramps, headaches, ovaries aching, etc

Maybe: It is possible it is from the birth control. The only way to know for sure would be to do 1 of 2 things: continue and see what happens, or stop medicaiton until after period, see what happens, and try restarting. If it happens again then it is the medication. If you get better it wasn't. Use back up protection in meantime.

Yes: But usually not all at once. Oftentimes these sorts of symptoms will subside after a couple of cycles, but make sure you are on a low dose pill. The body aches and headaches are a particular concern so if they don't get better soon you need to talk to your doctor.
