I started on the pill (mini pill) just 9 days ago, since then i have gotten 2 canker sores and it looks like a have another 1 or 2 starting. Ive googled and only found one other person who was concerend about this, but they were given no answers. Any information would be appreciated.
now that i think about it, when i was on birth control (the pill) i did have a few canker sores but when i'm not on it i don't get any.
are you getting canker sores or cold sores? if it's canker sores, that's fairly rare (especially only 9 days into taking) but most likely due to vitamin deficiency caused by the pill in some people. if not already doing so, taking a quality multivitamin each day may stop them. if canker sores, possible but very rare is also that you may have an allergy or sensitivity to some ingredient in this pill. if it's cold sores, it's pretty common as any hormonal fluctuation runs a risk of temporarily compromising a person's immune system enough for an outbreak of herpes to occur. that's why it's so common for cold sores to occur around ovulation or just prior to menstruation in females not on hormonal birth control. having just started a new bc pill, this would be pretty normal and may stop once you've gone through a month or three and your body fully adjusts.
thanks guys, they are canker soars not cold sores, ill start taking some vitimines, i really should anyways
ah yes i get them too and also was told that you can get canker sores from hormone changes so i guess that explains it. man there so painful, it sucks.
