The Realist agony auntThis can be normal if it doesn't go on for more than a week otherwise that brand of pills could not be agreeing with you body and you will have to try a different brand. I know some girls who had to try two or three different brands before they found one that worked and didn't have these symptoms. Make sure to go back to your doctor for a follow up to make sure that they working.

xanthic agony auntIt depends, but yes, for the most part it's normal to have some side effects while your body is adjusting to the hormones. Nausea and moodiness are the most common. If it gets worse, contact your doctor.

smiliek agony aunthey there. Bc pills can make you feel sick, esp if you've just started on them. I had to change one id been on for 3 years because it suddenly started making me sick. New ones they say give it 3 months. If the side effects haven't gone away after that time you should try another one. Each pill has different hormone levels and will react with your body differently. Good luck

Irregular periods is "normal" but I would would recommend seeing a doctor and switch to condoms.
