New bc pill driving me crazy!

adorable_aly

So about 5 weeks ago I went on a new pill. The side effects have been horrible, cramping, constant bleeding, bloating, bigger boobs (that one is welcomed lol), bad moods etc. basically I've felt like I've been on one loooong period. I didn't realise how bad my moods had got until I visited family who I hadn't seen in 3 months, and I was just miserable. It's annoying because I know I'm prone to emotionally eat so it makes it harder. The bloating is the worst because its making me feel that I've put on weight, and the whole thing is just demotivating. I know side effects are normal in the first few months, but damn its like I got all of them.

It's frustrating because it feels like I could or work my butt off and I'm not going to see the effects (physical or mental) until my body adjusts to this damn pill.

Did any one else experience these side effects when going on the pill? Did your body adjust or did you give up?

I don't know if it's relevant but I have PCOS.
