Do birth control pills cause heavy periods, strange cramps, lightheadedness, and nausea?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

The reason for having heavy periods in mid-cycle may be due to missing any dose of birth control pills. Consumption of emergency contraceptive pills, at a young age there is less chance of any fibroid or adenomyosis. But to rule out pathology, I suggest you get an ultrasound scan of the uterus and ovaries.

I also would want to know the detailed history, if you are having any of the above.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
