I think you should take time t read about your bc. There should be a white paper folded into asquare on your b.c packet. Birth control can make you gain weight, feel nausious, it could be the cause for your headaches ( because that isn't really a prego symptom) and for your feeling so tired. If you are concerned I would take a pregnancy test, as well as consulting your doctor about your symptoms, but really do take time to read the while folded paper attacted to the b/c packet. I just did the same thing about a week ago lol. I was feeling not so hot, so I looked up the symptoms of b/c I've only taken it for two weeks. Anyways I hope that helped!!!

 Hi,
Your symptoms sound very similar to the symptoms I had when I was taking Microgynon 30 (a contraceptive pill which didn't agree with me). I also thought I was pregnant! It's very unpleasant. You should see your doctor a.s.a.p. and tell her everything you have written here.

 Most likely just your body getting used to the pill. Remember, the pill is a hormonal form of birth control, so your hormones will be all over the place.
As your on your period I doubt that you are pregnant but it's always best to make sure so get yourself a test.
