For Birth Control "the first night I took it, I brushed my teeth. Normally I don't look at my tongue, but for some reason I felt the need to. I saw bumps, and they were scary-looking bumps. Whiteness on the back of my tongue and yellow. It didn't hurt or anything, so I thought maybe I just ate something too spicy. So I waited, and the next day it was still there but not as bad, so I figured it was going away. The fourth day of taking it, it started to hurt when I swallowed, so I got kind of worried. I've been getting acne pretty bad, and I've been getting really sick to my stomach and headaches and fevers, and so my stepmom believes I'm coming down with thrush. I looked up things that can cause thrush, and it turns out birth control was on that list."

For Acne "I am 16 years old and started this birth control a month ago. Got pretty bad nausea and headaches the first couple weeks, but it went away. I don't take the placebo pills for my period week because they make my period worse, and going off the placebo seems to help. I started my second pack yesterday and took a double dose because I skipped a day. Woke up this morning, vomited profusely all day. If it gets worse, I'm going to the hospital."

For Birth Control "I didn't like this birth control, and I know it affects everyone differently, but this was my first time on the pill, and within the first 3 months, I gained 20 lbs! I also had a lot of breast tenderness. Then I got switched to Syeda, and the 2nd month I was on it, I had headaches daily that would not go away with ibuprofen or Excedrin. Then by the 3rd month, I had headaches every other day. Not to mention, on a daily basis, I had breast tenderness and cramps every week except the first week of the start of my pills. And now I'm going to start the Depo Provera shot in two weeks, and I'm hearing mixed reviews with that."
