Are my side effects normal?!?

Question

So I have been taking birth control for 20 days now and today I experienced some really bad side effects. I was nauseous, had really bad heartburn, and some light brown discharge. Now later at night I just have really bad cramping, like worse than my usual period and some really dark brown almost black discharge. Is this normal? How long do symptoms like this last?! Btw I take a low estrogen pill call Lo Loestrin Fe.

Answer

It usually takes about 3 months for the side effects to go away. For me the cramping was only really bad for about the first month. It did however make me really emotional the entire time so I ended up getting off. It can affect everyone differently but for the pills I'd give it 2-3 months to see if things get better. I pretty much experienced all the side effects you listed though so it is pretty normal.
