"i started bc because i had severe headaches, nausea, and dizziness when on my periods. i never had heavy bleeding or clotting... but i would get so dizzy i would be close to fainting if i was on my feet too much. the doctors simply said it could be my hormones changing and prescribed me ocella. i haven&#039;t noticed any weight gain or  anything. it regulated my pain and dizziness during my periods. however, after 4 months i&#039;ve been very nauseous and have had severe headaches and stomach pain. i could be coming down with something so i couldn&#039;t say it&#039;s 100% from the pill. overall it&#039;s worked great for me and definitely aleviated my pain during menstration."
