Why Is There Heavy Bleeding, Sharp Pains In The Middle Part Of Stomach And Left Side Of The Body After Starting The Linessa Birth Control Pills?

I take 54mg Concerta for my A.D.D. and I have just started Linessa birth control three days ago. I just started getting random sharp pains in my middle part of my stomach, and the left side of my body has sharp pains too. I am just getting chest pains at this time [12:32 am]. I started my period three days ago, and ever since then, I have been bleeding a lot more than usual after starting Linessa. Please help me?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have been experiencing. This pains sees to be more of dysmenorrhea. Pain medications like tylenol and ibuprofen would be able to provide relief to you. For the bleeding, I will like that you get consulted and evaluated for this if the bleeding is too excessive because there are many other possible causes this. Rarely would pills alone be responsible for heavier bleedings. It would be good to look for possible causes and make sure they are all ruled out before settling with measures to control this.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
