"i&#039;m 18 years old, my period was irregular and i&#039;m sexually active, so i decided to start the pill. i  just started this birth control (first bc ever tried), the first 3 days when i was on this bc i got the worst headaches. then i started to feel depressed and was tired all the time. within the first week of taking the pill, i got my period, and i got the worst cramps ever - more worse than before i was using any contraceptive; tingling/numbness in legs, severe cramps, nausea. but now i don&#039;t feel depressed anymore and i don&#039;t get terrible headaches. my breasts feel a little fuller than normal-&quot;normal&quot; as in before i started using any contraceptive. i&#039;m on my second week of taking the pill, so we&#039;ll see how it goes."
