Welcome to HCM.
All hormonal pills have some side-effects . The lower dose Estrogen pill they have prescribed you will have less. Estrogen side-effects include fluid retention , mood swings, breast tenderness and menstrual abnormalities. I suggest you take this pill for at least 3cycles, if you are unhappy in any way ask your doctor to consider an alternative pill or method.
I trust you find this helpfull.
