Could Back Pain, Headache And Spotting Be Due To Birth Control Pill?
I have really bad back pain , severe headaches, i'm always exhausted I get bad cramps almost everyday and i have been spotting almost everyday for the last 3 weeks. I just wanted to know if it is because of my birth control. It only started when i started my birth control pill for the first time.

Side effect of oral contraceptive pill (OCP) is headache, back pain, weight gain and thromboembolic manifestation.
Cramps in calf muscle is not a good sign. You may be prone to deep vein thrombosis. I would suggest you to get a gynaecologist opinion and tell her that you are having cramps everyday.
May be she'll shift you from OCP to any other contraceptive method like intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD)
