-- Posted by Anonymous at 4:21 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 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? -- Posted by soccerislife at 4:23 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 just wait longer. -- Posted by Nica101 at 4:23 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 it works for my friends who are on BC so i would wait a lil -- Posted by 9 Volt at 4:23 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 I think you should wait longer :P -- Posted by rahawr at 4:26 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Wait quite a while, yet with me I'm on yaz and never had any side effects except for being hungry constantly lmfao and gained some weight but thats about it...sometimes i get random headaches -- Posted by latric3 at 4:27 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 I've been on Yaz fpor about 7 months. My side affects have all been positive. Acne free, regular period, not pregnant, less bitchy... and bigger boobs. What more can I ask for?lol. -- Posted by RIMHfire at 4:30 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 You'll get the side effects later on. -- Posted by 2kewl4u2know at 4:32 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Not everyone gets the side effects, but just because you aren't getting them doesn't mean your Birth Control isn't being effective. -- Posted by Philophobia at 4:36 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 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.
