Does Intake Of Contraceptive Pills Cause Fatigue, Dizziness And Bloating?

I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend four times last Saturday. I took plan B the next morning, but then had sex again that night. Since then I have been very tired, dizzy and bloated. Also, my vaginal discharge is way different that usual. I am worried that I may be pregnant. I took an at home pregnancy test today but its only been 6 days so it came back negative. I am supposed to get my period a week from Sunday, but I don t wanna wait that long to find out. Any help would be great.

General Surgeon, Dr. Shinas Hussain's Response

Hello,

It can happen with hormonal pills. If you can not tolerate these side effects, you can switch to progesterone only pills( pop) which has got less chance for such side effects.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
