the contraceptive pill
hi y'all i'm sarah from philly, i'm 17 years old and i'm on the cilest oral contraceptive tablets, i just started them a couple of weeks ago but already i'm realising that after a period, i am still bloated and my breasts(period or no period)never go down to their normal size, they usually stay swollen when before when i used to take a period, the bloated feeling would dissapeare and my breasts would go back to normal straight after a period, this is making me feel uncomfortable but i have to take the pill due to bad cramp. i don't know what to do because my doctor told me these side effects wouldnt happen with this type of pill but it has. can u tell me whats actually happening, why and any other contraceptive pill that definitely doesn't have these side effects? thank you

Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to tell you exactly why your body is reacting in this way to this particular pill. Nor can I predict how your body might be with other forms of oral contraceptive. This is because every body is different, and it has different tolerance levels to various medications.
You definitely need to go back to your doctor to describe your problem. He or she should let you know about alternatives - lighter dose pills, various hormone pills, the shot, the patch, the implant, etc. The best idea for your body might be to try a different oral contraceptive, as you may be sensitive to hormones.
Write down what you've said here and take it into your doctor's. Try to think if the only thing different this month was the pill - or if there was something else that might be affecting your body. It's best to be as accurate as possible so your doctor can help you make an informed choice.
Best of luck.
