I hope that you have gotten checked out for blood clots. The symptoms you are discribing are associated with that. I took this pill for a month and just got out of the hospital for clots. The very first day I took the pill I felt nausia, My mood changed immediatly I was ANGRY and BITTER, tired all the time. By boobs were tender that really did not bother me much. I noticed cramps in my legs my chest was tight. I wound up in the ER. Needless to say I am no longer on the pill. If you are having sever symptoms (and it sounds like you are) then GET OFF THEM and go to the Emergency Room.
Thanks for your follow up to my post. I went to the Dr. for a follow up to taking this pill and when she saw how swollen I was from it and that I gained 6 pounds in 2 months, she insisted I stop ASAP. The Dr. said it seems I was having a reaction to the part of the hormone that makes u think you are pregnant as that causes swelling. Since I have been off this pill I feel amazing. I do not have cravings, my eyes are not puffy (i am back to getting compliments about my eyes) I don't have cramps, swelling, and my energy level is amazing - I am not tired all the time, I do not have insomnia and I am not moody ad my skin is amazing again and best of all my jeans fit.
This pill is for the pits and stand your ground. Know when you do not feel 100% like yourself regardless of what your doctor says.
I am glad your doctor was able to diagnose your clots because that is serious.
