The : The symptoms you are having could be caused by hormonal fluctuations due to the birth control pill. Think about it like this; the birth control pills suppress ovulation thus your body is in a state of pseudo pregnancy. You may benefit from a different pill with a different hormonal make up. At your next visit discuss changing your birth control pill with your doctor. Take care.
