I am getting a big reaction to my new birth control pills. big mood swings, weight gain, and my breasts have gotten significantly larger. normal?

Should get better: If you have just started the pill, your symptoms may be normal. As your body becomes accustomed to the hormones in your pills, your symptoms should get better. If your symptoms have not resolved by the end of your third or fourth pack of pills, then you may need to change to a different pill.

Change Pills: Go with a lower estrogen dose pill if you are not already on the lowest.
