Hormonal Contraception: The Pill [General Discussion]
in Women's Health ·
Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice or maybe just someone who’s been through this before.
So, here’s the deal: I’ve been taking Novynette—this is my third month on it. For the first two months, everything felt totally fine; I didn't experience any side effects at all.
About a month ago, I dealt with a kidney infection and had to go on a course of antibiotics. I actually finished up the meds right around the time I started my second pack. That month went by without any issues, too.
Now, I’m on my third pack, somewhere around the eighth pill, and a few days ago I noticed I’ve started urinating more frequently again (though nothing seems off with the color or smell). On top of that, I’m getting these sharp, stabbing pains in my kidney area, along with this strange sensation like my liver is hurting, and I also tend to get some chest pressure.
I’m not sure what to make of it—could this be a side effect from the medication, or is it possible that my kidney infection just never fully cleared up? 🙄 🙄
