weird stuff going on after bcp change

I posted here last week about having cramps in my sides and sharp little pains in that area (low, but on my sides) after being off bcp for 11 days, then switching to seasonale. I figured I was ovulating since I had been off for several days, but didn't worry about it much. The cramping has pretty much gone away. I am now in my 2nd week, almost 3rd of seasonale. But I'm still getting weird little twinges in my sides and if I stretch or sneeze I get a really sharp pain down there too. And now...it seems like my BM's (I know, entirely TMI but I am confused here) have become much more frequent and "looser" than normal. I have never heard of this as a side effect of bcp, so that's why I'm asking about that here. That, combined with the sharp pains/twinges is weirding me out. My breasts are a little tender/tingly but that always happened to me when I've switched pills, but the latter is a whole new deal.

Any ideas here are welcome.... TIA

hmmm...it could be adjusting to your pill but then it might not. If anything, I`d recommend calling your doctor and asking about the sharp pains and the twinges. A call is free, after all!

Sorry that I can`t be more helpful!
