	Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Tue 12, May 2009 11:11pm: Hi, Depending on the type of pill, some women may have one or more of the following side effects when taking the pill: headache, nausea, dizziness, breakthrough bleeding, tender breasts, anxiety and missed periods. Women who take the progestin-only pill may have more bleeding or spotting days than women who take birth control pills that contain estrogen. If you miss one period and have taken the pill as prescribed, you should keep taking the pill. If this persists, have this evaluated further by your gynecologist. Take care and regards.
