question: im taking althea oral contraceptives. on the first day, i took the pill at 4pm. on the second day at around 6pm. and on the third day at around 5pm. and from the 4th day onwards, ive been taking it at 4pm everyday. ive been taking it for 10 days now. On the first week i was taking it, i was experiencing lightheadedness, i get tired easily, and really bloated. My partner even noticed i gained weight so quickly. But what most alarms me is that i would sometimes get light sort-of-painful sensations around my belly where i would experience cramps when i have my period before. And with this, i would have a brownish discharge and (sometimes) urine, too. Is this normal? What should i do?
