"first time on birth control (bc) and i am relieved to not have had any major side effects after taking this bc for a month now. the first day i took it i felt a little nauseous but switched to taking it before bed and now don&#039;t feel anything (even if i forgot the night before &amp; have to take it in the middle of the day) i did get two pretty big pimples the first week but no physical changes besides that. i think i&#039;m on my period now (end of first pack) but very very light bleeding &amp; no cramps."
