This can be normal as your body is adjusting to the new hormones, if it doesn’t lighten up or stop maybe ask your gp as they may suggest you try a different one instead but a lot of the time they try to make you wait 3 months just to see. Hope it stops for you, it’s can be so stressful adjusting to it all
