Hi everyone !

Due to recurring ovarian problems, I was put on OCP to hopefully minimize chances of reccurence.

Before the 3rd week of the active pills even started on my first pack, I started bleeding which I heard was expected as the body tries to get used to the pills and the bleeding trailed off almost completely. Packs later, I am now started on the 2nd week of active pills and bleeding like a period but not on the inactive. Weird.

I've also noticed, overall, that I get body aches more often and I've been getting extremely frequent calf cramps / charley horses (anyone whose had these know how insanely painful these are) and it feels like almost every night and sometimes even out of nowhere.

Anyone have a similar experience or advice, it's greatly appreciated. THANK YOU !!
