hello patient,
I understand your concern.
Birth control pills directly affects hormones
sometimes hormonal balance get imbalanced due to birth contol pills which lead to vaginal bleeding & abdominal pain etc.
Usally these side effects get resolved within few weeks ,if doesnt get resolved you should see your gyanecologist and change the medicine and/or dose of the medicines.
wish you a speedy recovery!
