I just started taking the pill (ortho
tri-cyclen lo) two weeks ago. Since then,
my breasts have been swollen and tender
and just generally annoying. I've also
had a bit of an upset stomach, bloated
feeling, and gas. I don't know if this is
normal. I basically feel as though i've
put on weight or i'm pmsy, but I know
better. Is this normal? Could something
else be wrong? I'm just paranoid, but if
anyone had a similar experience, maybe you
could let me know, and whether or not it
ended.

Sounds like normal side effects that occur
when you go on the pill.. I went off the
pill a year ago and went on the depo shot
(which has no estrogen) but recently went
back on the estrogen based birth control..
I've been having those same side effects
this month because of it. They do wear
off after you get adjusted to being on the
pill...
