Contraceptive pill

Hello, have a phone appointment with GP to discuss in a weeks time just wanted to gather opinions/experiences before then.

Since starting on my most recent contraceptive pill almost 2 years ago, I have had digestive issues. I have only just made the link that possibly it could be linked. Issues include bloating, constipation, trapped wind, sore stomache. These symptoms are generally worse the first 3 weeks after beginning the pill following a period and then if I haven't stopped for a period after 3 months. The bloating and trapped wind is a constant cycle though.

I'm wondering if anyone has had similar with certain pills and then been fine with different pills? Really, I'm not keen on other contraceptives and would rather try a different pill. Just not sure if this will be how my body reacts to them now?

Thanks
