Can starting birth control pills cause cramping or other things?

I just started taking birth control pills at the beginning of the week. I've had some sensitivity in my breast and I've had some moderate cramping and diarrhea. Could this be a side effect to being new to the pill?

1. not just cramping but they can cause ur hormones to chage!
2. Yes, those are normal side effects to starting a new pill. You may also notice nausea, being tired, etc. It took a few weeks on my new pill for my hormones to regulate, and those symptoms to lessen. Hope that helps.
3. It all varies. It depends which birth control you started taking. each pill comes with a new list of side effects and things to watch out for. Here is a generic web page that gives common side effects that are pretty normal. Hope this helps! I would check with you gynecologist to be on the safe side if you are worried. Your health is very important, as you know!
