When do birth control side effects typically show up?

Question

I’ve been on the pill for three weeks now (today marks the third week) and I have not experienced ANY side effects. The brand I’m using has a lot of bad reviews online in terms of side effects so I don’t know if this is normal. The only thing I’ve been experiencing is sore breasts but it’s going away.

Answer

I had a harder time losing weight but that was it

Answer

Side effects can happen anytime within the first 3-6 months. That said, some people get lucky & don’t experience any side effects. When I was on the pill, I didn’t experience any, except eventual changes to my “periods” & normal pms symptoms during the “period” week.
