Side effects of Errin birth control pills?

I have been taking Errin birth control pills for several months. During this time I have noticed a considerable weight gain. I also feel like I can't get enough sleep. I am constantly tired to the point that it effects my daily activities. I would like to know if these are normal side effects of this medication and if there is anything that I can do to reduce them.


Weight Gain to Errin Birth Control Pills



I have been on Errin birth control for almost a month now, and I have already gained 6 pounds. This is with me only eating two well-balanced meals a day. I was thinner and a size smaller before I started the birth control. I am often so tired, that I cannot sleep. I am concened because I have gained so much weight in such a short period of time. My stomach actually is so swollen that I look like I am a few months pregnant, or as if I have just had a baby.

Errin Side Effects



I have been taking Errin for 3 weeks now. I have not experienced any side effects as of yet. However, I have been wanting to gain some weight due to the fact that I am too thin in my opinion. If this pill does in fact cause weight gain, I really look forward to seeing it happen. Overall, I am very satisfied with taking Errin.

Missed period and spotting



I started using Errin on the day of my first period following the birth of a child... I expirienced a shorted period than usual that lasted about 4 days instead of my usual 7 day period... I expirienced spotting about 2 weeks later. Now I am on my second pack... I have not gotten a period yet that was supposed to start during the 4th row of pills, I've taken 22 pregnancy tests and they are negative. My usual period is like clockwork but I am confused as to if my missed period is due to just having a baby9 weeks ago and my body adjusting, the amount of stress I'm under or the reaction of the pill.

ERRIN after giving birth



I have been on Errin for three months following the birth of my son. I am overall satisfied. I just hate that you have to take it sooooo religiously (same time everyday) Its annoying because I am a new mom, a graduate student, and newlywed. And I really have a hard time remembering to take my pill. I hope I am not pregnant again this year. But I wouldnt be surprised if I were. I just hope that It happens atleast after my son is 9 months old.

Errin



i have been taking errin now for about 3 1/2, 4 mths. from the start of taking errin i have had a peroid every two weeks. the doctor said that maybe im not taking my pill correctly. how much better can u get by taking it between 10 and 11 every day. my husband thinks that i maybe prego again. i really hope not because my sun is only 8 mnths old. i called the doctot back and told them i still have this problem and they keep insisting that i am taking it wrong. what am i soposed to do?

I have been on Errin BCP for 6 months. I did not get my period for the first 3 months. Now I get it the first or second day starting the 3rd week of pills..like clockwork. I did think I was pregnant the first few months because I felt pregnant and I was spotting. Everything has seemed to even out. I noticed that your comment was almost 2 months ago...hope this helped?? If not..sorry it is late!

Period lasting almost all month long f/m Errin!



My side effects from taking Errin are horrible!  My period will not regulate.  I will be on my period for about a week (5-7 days), and then it will stop for a couple of days.  I am surprised just a couple of days later to see that I am having my period again.  Sometimes it is heavy, and sometimes it is just spotting.  I cannot find anybody who has had these same side effects.  Most everybody is saying the opposite.

Constant bleeding on Errin birth control pills?



I have been taking Errin pill for two months now. During that time I have experienced the horrible side effect of constant bleeding. In the first month I had light and very heavy bleeding all expect 9 days. Now during the second month I have experience the same expect only 5 days without bleeding. My doctor says that it takes about three months for my hormones to regulate. I also have experienced tiredness, headaches and cramps.

Bad Side effects



This is my first month taking this pill and within the first week I had some bad side effects. I suffer from migraines and was told it would not make them worse. I had blood shot red eyes that were painful to move. I was out of class for a few days because the pain was so bad. I also some spotting and really bad acne. Needless to say I have to stop this pill at the end of the month and give up on birth controll all together.

If you want a bc that will help you gain weight try the depo shot. When I started it I gained about 30 pounds in one summer.
