Hi,

Your symptoms may be due to the birth control pills you have taken. Actually birth control pills are advantageous with few side effects. It includes spotting in between periods, breast swelling or tenderness, weight gain, stomach upset, nausea, mood changes, headaches and migraine etc. Usually, these side effects will settle down in a few months after withdrawing. If still persists, consult your near by gynecologist for help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
