"this is my first month on apri and i haven&#039;t been on any other forms of the pill since i was 18. i was prescribed loestrin in 2009 for bad cramping and pms, but got off that due to huge mood swings, bloating, weight gain and breast tenderness. it is now 7 yrs since then and i am using the pill mainly for birth control. i am on my third week and am feeling awful! i have had headaches several times per week, extreme nausea, cramping and tiredness. i have also felt anxiety and will wake up in the middle of the night. i take the pill in the morning but will be switching to a night time routine to see if my symptoms decrease or if i tolerate it better. my mood has been pretty normal and my sex drive is good. the worst thing has been the nausea."
