Chronic headaches and flu aches combined contraception pill

[sam_amilia]

Hi everyone,
I've came here because I'm at a loss for answers. I started the combined oral contraceptive pill " femme tab" which is an estrogen and progesterone combined pill. Anyways, shortly after starting, I began to get flu like muscle pains all over my body every day and have had an almost constant headache since.

I have the flu muscles aches right now, my body is in constant muscle pain, it was just in my hand, now it's in my foot, now my right thigh - literally since I have just typed this.  I have been on this pill for 5 months now and these symptoms have been present 100% of the time starting 2 weeks after the pill started.

I went to the Dr and he laughed it off and said that's not a symptom of the pill. However when I went on a forum before someone said that a med student said if you get flu aches from the pill that it is a very rare but serious side effect, and that you should stop the pill straight away if you do... he never did say why it was serious tho

(Ache is now in right shoulder at the moment).

Anyways, I had every blood test done and all came back normal, including the main inflamatory marker and ana were all fine.  Full blood count is fine except borderline calcium deficiency, borderline vit D deficiency and mildly low ferritin stores.

Does ANYONE know what on earth is causing this???

I've told the Dr I want to try a new pill and I'm staring it in 5 days after my hens party...

I guess my biggest fear is I stop this pill and the pains down go away before my wedding.

Thanks for your time
