What Causes Headache , Heartburn And Spotting After Taking Ipills?

Hi, I just changed contraceptives from depo to the pill. I had spotting last month but this month I had a period but experienced excruciating pain. Had to constantly take pain killer. I started a new pack, the bleeding is gone but I am extremely tired with headaches, heartburn and tender breasts...could this be an effect of the contraceptives?

Hello dear user!
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns!
Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic.
Yes these are exclusively the side effects of the contraceptive pill you have used. Heartburn, menstrual cycle disorders, high blood pressure, headache, swollen breasts etc, are the most side effects of these pills.
I wanted to say that I-pill is not a contraceptive method that is used regularly, it's an emergency contraceptive pill that is used after the unprotected intercourse with a strict using way. So if you have been taking them regularly please quit, and talk with a gynecologist to decide what method of contraception is the best and less harmless to you.
I hope this answer was helpful to you!
