Taking Contraceptive Pills, Losing Appetite, Lost Weight, Nausea, Bleeding. Is It Normal?

Hi I've just started taking the levest contraceptive pill ive nearly finished my first cycle and I've noticed I've lost my appetite and lost weight. I just don't feel like eating anything! I practically have to force myself To eat a meal. Ive been a little nauseous also. I've also been having some breakthrough bleeding today and yesterday. I'm just wondering if this is normal and to do with the pill or if I should be worried at all? I was on the same pill for 5 months and I came off it for a month, had a normal period and started back on the same pill this month. Thank you

DEAR SIR/MADAM

USUALLY TAKING CONTRACEPTIVE PILLS WILL CAUSE HARMONAL IMBALANCE WHEN TAKEN ON A LONG TIME CAUSES FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS
Changes in menstrual cycles, no menstrual cycles, extra bleeding
Nausea, mood changes, worsening of migraines (mostly due to estrogens)
Breast tenderness and weight gain

THERE ARE MANY SIDE EFFECTS OF TAKING THESE FOR LONG TIME
1. BLOOD CLOTS
2. HEART ATTACKS
3. STOKE INCIDENCES
4. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

Better avoid contuing taking these drugs, choose another method of contraception to follow

Thanks
