Tri-Levlen and birth control

Since the day before I got my period for the first time using Tri-Levlen I experienced random headaches which I have heard is usual but I also got sharp needle like pains in my legs and in my right upper arm and occasional pains behind my ears that make me flintch sort of like recieving a cold chill but it was my head that did the flintching. The pains in my ears have continued through the entire time of being on my period. I have been on two different birth controls and this is my second one after having my daughter. I don't necassarily know how long these pains behind my ears are going to last, tomorrow should be my last day hopefully and these pains will go away. I have also gotten temperatures ranging in between 100.2 and 101.4 before getting my period. I can't say that the temperatures being high were from the pill or something I had eaten. I would like to know what some of the women out here have experienced and if they would recommend it to other people. I am going to try it for another month and if I experience the pains I have recieved this week again, I am planning on changing to another form of birth control hopefully Orhto Tri Cyclen. My doctor didn't tell me why she put me on this also if anyone knows some of the reason why this one can please tell me.
