Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

Actually birth control pills are advantageous with few side effects . It includes,
Spotting inbetween periods
Breast swelling or tenderness
weight gain
Stomach upset
Nausea
Mood changes
headaches and migraine.

Usually, these side effects will reduce within few months of taking tablets. If persists, consult your near by gynaecologist for help.

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

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
