To start with let me say I am not a professional and will only provide information that I have heard/read or been told. Always consult a doctor if you are unsure about anything.

I would advise you to get a pregnancy test as a precautionary measure, also if you are pregnant the pill can harm the baby.

The pain relief tablets you have been taking might cause a great problem with the pill I recommend that you use something lighter that may do the same job. It is probably best that you speak with your doctor to find out the right pain killers to use with specific brand of pill.

I have been told that some side effects caused by the pill can cause spontanious bleeding.
