I just started taking birth control a few days ago. My stomach has been hurting since. Is it just a virus or a side effect? Help.

could def be a side effect some women are sensitive to the hormones and can have nausea or stomach cramps. Speak to your Dr about this there are tons of options out there and they likely switch you until they find something that won’t do this
Some people have side effects. There should have been a paper with your prescription that lists the side effects for what you are using. There is also a stomach virus going around. Give it some time and see how you feel.
Hormone-based birth control often comes with side effects that can range from slightly annoying to bad enough to make you switch.
You can talk to your doctor but I do know that sometimes it takes a few months for your body to adjust. I’d give it some time. And then, of course, it is true that half the people I know do have stomach flu right now…
