I've been on birth control (yasmin 21)
since February of this year. This past
month I've been feeling very nauseous
dizzy, and I've been experience some body
aches. Its been 4 months since I've had
sex (long.. i know ) and I've ruled
out the possiblity of being pregnant
because I had my period in January and
every month after that since I've started
the pill. So could this been the flu (my
whole family was sick w/ the flu in the
beginning of the month) or could I be
experiencing side effects?

Those sound like flu symptoms, not pill
side-effects.

The whole nausea/gagging thing is always
in the morning and sometimes at night. Its
gettinga annoying and I just can't seem to
vomit.

Also, I went to the doctor yesterday...
she said the nausea is from the birth
control pills. Yasmine has a higher dose
of estrogen which is causing the nausea.
She also said that I should take it with
food..
soo just a heads up for other taking
Yasmine!

it's a good thing you couldn't vomit! Not
only is it highly uncomfortable to do, but
it also could have decreased the
effectiveness of your pills.
I noticed nausea with ortho-lo personally,
when I switched from taking them in the
morning and moved to taking them at night.
I was eating smaller meals at night than
in the morning, and I ended up puking two
or three times before I realised that if I
took it at night, I had to take it with
somthing very small (I have to eat food
when I take any pill, otherwise I can
'feel' it in my throat) or I'd get sick.
When I take it in the mornings, I'm fine
for some reason.
I was getting sick about 6 hours into the
night after taking the pills.

I'd like to try and take it in the morning
but I don't always wake up at the same
time everyday and 11pm seems to be the
best time for me to take it.

I wake up at different times too. What I
do is set a seperate alarm on my cell for
7 am. Sometimes I'm awake and sometimes
I'm not-but I keep my pills and a bottle
of water next to my bed. I roll over, take
my pill, and go back to sleep.
