Normal for tampons to make you swollen?

Well acctually mandyloo it sed take on the first day of you next period so I do know how to take. I was just concerned

I too had to start taking the pill on the first day of my period. mandyloo must have had a different type to you and me.

Every pill has slightly different side effects so to know if a swollen vagina is a possible side effect you will have to read the booklet carefully. Although I doubt it would be. It seems something has gone wrong somewhere along the lines. Ring your G.P for advice or if you extremely concerned take a trip to casualty.

I aplogize - most birth controls say to start after your period - because when you start taking the pill the hormones cause your period to stop. So that is the reason for it stopping.

As far the swollen vagina goes - it could be from the tampon or it could be a side affect. Take the tampon out and do not use a tampon if you start bleeding again or next month - use a panty liner and see if that makes a difference . If you still swollen - see a doctor.
