"i just started this pill a few weeks ago after going off the nuva ring, which had terrible side effects as well. at first the pill was fine, i didn&#039;t notice anything off. and then about a week after taking it the bloating, nausea, and cramps came back. it is summer time and its not a time anyone likes being bloated. i don&#039;t know why i get this side effect but i wish i could find a form of birth control that didn&#039;t have these side effects for me."
