I've been on ortho tri-cyclen lo since
may. I'm very pleased with it. My
emotional pms symptoms have decreased
significantly, my skin is immaculate, and
i've stopped gaining weight and am able to
lose weight again. My breasts tend to be
tender from the time I start my last week
of active pills until after my period, but
this doesnt' happen every month.
However, randomly throughout the day I
experience a sudden urge to throw up. I
haven't actually done it, but it feels as
if i'm going to at any moment. This is
very different from the nausea I had when
I was pregnant and on higher dose pills.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so,
did anything help? I currently take my
pill at night. Would switching to
morning or mid day help?

I just started taking ortho tri cyclen lo
and have also experienced some nausea. I
think its probably normal because when I
first started regular ortho tri cyclen, I
also had these side effects.
I have heard that taking your pill at
night is supposed to help, but if your
already doing that then i'm not sure what
would help you.

I'm On the Patch... Posted: 08-09-04 18:37pm
And I get that sick feeling around 4 pm
everyday. Less on sunday since I change
it on sunday night and the patch is
running low. But it is like clockwork.
I'm hoping that my system will get used to
it and the nausea will go away. I've only
been on it two weeks and 1 day

If you have been on the pill for two
months or more and are still getting
bothersome side effects then you need to
switch pills. There are many pills out
there and there is most likely going to be
one that does not make you sick like that.
Good luck. I personally cannot take
ortho as it doesn't work for me, and ortho
lo makes me spot all month because it
isn't strong enough. You should try the
pills with only one hormonal level
throughout the whole month. They may
work better for you.
Give the patch time and those symptoms
should pass, but if they don't then you
should look into a pill also. Good luck
girls.

Dredging up the old nausea thread again,
but I have a question....
I'm currently on my 2nd pack of pills, and
i've been taking the active pills for a
week. The first month I was on the pill,
I experienced nausea after the first
couple of days of taking it, which
persisted for nearly a week, before
disappearing.
My period was perfectly on schedule, no
spotting, lucky me. But about a week
after beginning my active pills, I began
experiencing the same sort of nausea (and
a little indigestion, might I add), and it
hasn't gone away. Is it normal for the
nausea to return...And that late after
starting to take the active pills again??
At present, it's been 2 weeks since i've
been taking my active pills.
I would hope that i'm not pregnant, but I
don't believe it's likely that I am.
During my first month of taking the pill,
I had sex a few times, but we used condoms
(w/ spermicide). However, this nausea
quandry is really throwing me off here...

It may not be from the pill. It could be
from your nerves or something else
altogether. If it continues though I
would see your doc. It really does seem
odd to me though that you have been
alright for so long and then the nausea
just came back. Odd.
Try to relax, pay attention to what you
eat before you get nausea and indigestion.
Then stay away from those foods and see
if you feel better.
