What are contraceptive side-effects?

• Side effects of contraception are common. They can be annoying and often debilitating. There are many options to ameliorate symptoms and you should see your GP or a specialist.

Common contraceptive side-effects include break-through bleeding (inter-menstrual bleeding), nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, mood changes and reduced libido.
