What are the side effects of birth control?
Common side effects include: nausea, tenderness around your breasts, headaches, dizziness. Not to worry — these side effects tend to be rather mild and should subside after you’ve been taking birth control for a few months, once your body gets used to being on contraceptives.
What happens if I've missed a pill while taking monthly birth control?
Take your missed pill as soon as you can, if it’s still within 24 hours. If you’ve missed taking your pill for a few days, it’s best to use other forms of contraceptives should you intend to have sex, to ensure that you stay protected.
