Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Common: So those are some common side effects. Nausea is common but most women do not have problems with it. The estrogen an cause breast changes. Sometimes the side effects will go away, sometimes changing pills might make them better. Sometimes women just have more side effects in general than other women no matter what pill is used
