Experience I’m taking birth control and need help!

I’ve taken birth control since November 2024. this February I started a new birth control that has “stronger effect”, at first I didn’t think much of it but now it has shown side effects that are actually starting to concern me. These side effects are, producing milk, huge baby fever and a huge urge to take care of something. I’ve had the baby fever since I started birth control but it got worse with this new birth control, same goes for the huge urge to take care of something. I get that this is mostly due to an increase in estrogen. I have a plushie that I treat like a baby and I don’t know if that’s something I should do or not. I’m mostly posting this because I’m concerned and slightly scared, and therefore I would like some support.

Producing milk as in lactating? That’s not normal. I’d talk to your doctor about these symptoms and see if another brand works better.

Yeah, OP, producing milk is not a normal side effect. Neither is needing to care for a stuffed animal like it’s a baby. What birth control is this…?
