Does anyone else have issues with the pill?

Hi, I’ve been on the pill on and off for about 10 years. Never used any other contraception. I am currently on cerezette and at first it was fine but over the past 4-5 months I have been experiencing:
Period pain like pains
Bleeding
Weight gain (with no real change to diet)
My anxiety has got worse
Mood swings.
Sore/aching boobs
Reacurring cystitis
Feeling very emotional

I know these things can be attributed to other things but I have looked up symptoms and all of them come under the side effects of the pill. I am definitely not pregnant and I’ll be going to see the doctor at the family planning clinic ASAP but does anyone else have these issues?

I've never had any symptoms at all; but I think I'm in the minority and most people get a symptom or two. If you're getting all of those, I'd switch pills and see if a different one works better, or try a different method of contraception.

Thanks, I can’t really remember if I experience side effects before because I’ve never been on it for this long but recently I’ve been feeling so bad!
