So I started taking Birth Control about a week and a half ago (Not for sexual reasons)
There is a load of side effects on the box, things like nausea, and that.
And it's suppose to help with acne and junk.

I haven't been feeling sick, and there isn't anything going on with the acne stuff.

So, am I just lucky enough to feel the side effects? or is it not working... Or what?

Should I wait longer before I expect anything?

Some people don't get effected by the side effects. Ive been on birth control for 3 years, i have never experienced any of the side effects. I dont know if it has helped with acne, cause i have never gotten really bad acne.

Not everyone gets the side effects, but just because you aren't getting them doesn't mean your Birth Control isn't being effective.

You'll get the side effects later on.
