Question 1

lately when i wake up i feel like i wanna throw up. i'm on the birth control pill. me and my bf have been playing lately should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Take preg test: It sounds to me like you are worried that you might be pregnant. Check a pregnancy test and find out. If it is negative you can see your doctor to discuss morning nausea.

Question 2

if i throw up 2 hours after taking birth control pill am i still protected?

Accepted Answer

: Likely the pill already advanced to the intestine after 2 hours.

Question 3

if i take my birth control pill at night and throw up the next morning, do i need back up contraception.  i am seasonique so my period won't come yet.

Accepted Answer

No: Not if you took the pill the night before. IF this is happening frequently then a doctor should evaluate your morning vomiting. You would also consider the Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD as a birth control option that would also reduce or eliminate periods.

Question 4

teen vomiting in am on min overall birth control pill for few months now?

Accepted Answer

VOMITING : Bcp can cause vomiting when taken in an empty stomach( steroid).

Question 5

vomiting 10 hours after taking birth control  pill 2 days in a row can it lessen the effects of the pill?

Accepted Answer

: Vomiting 10 hours after taking the pill will not reduce effectiveness of the pill. However, if vomiting persists, especially if you lose weight, it would be imperative to see a doctor. Drink enough water so your urine is mostly colorless.
Wish you good health!

Question 6

should i take the birth control pill tonight? yesterday at around 1 pm i took my first birth control pill, called apri. a few hours later i felt very sick, nausea, dizziness, etc. i went home from work early because of this, and ended up vomiting up my en

Accepted Answer

Birth : Birth control pills introduce hormones to your body that your body is not regularly used to. Many women often experience nausea when they first start taking birth control pills. Other side effects may include fatigue, bloating, change or halt in mentral cycle, breakthrough vaginal bleeding/spotting and pelvic cramping.
If you continue to have severe nausea, however, there are other birth control options available. You may need to explore other options if nausea and vomiting persists.

Question 7

took plan b a month ago,taking my birth control pill,period came on time,  pain under right side of rib.vomiting,nausea. could i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Probably not, but...: If worried, can test. A urine pregnancy test done correctly gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened). If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon, and therefore lead to a repeat test. If a woman has her normal regular period, then she is usually presumed not pregnant.

Question 8

i was on birth control and it made me throw up every month so i got an iud. i keep getting painful cysts from the iud. should i switch back to pills?

Accepted Answer

LARCs are best: Long-acting-reversible contraceptives (or LARCs) are the most effective methods to prevent pregnancies and may be your best choice.  Consult a caring and knowledgeable Gyn about a subdermal implant or a copper IUD (not a hormonal IUD). Either one may be your best option...so try either one; this would be much better than "switching back to oral contraceptive pills".

Question 9

my stomach hurts and i'm on birth control pills. i just started to take birth control pills (im on week 3) and my stomach just started hurting really bad and i feel like im going to throw up, what is going on?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes : Sometimes pills will cause nausea. It is usually progressive rather than sudden onset. Also the abdominal pain is not a typical feature of the nausea associated with oral contraceptives. If the pain gets worse you should see your doctor.

Question 10

is it possible to lactate on a birth control pill?

Accepted Answer

Yes : You can breast feed on low dose birth control pills ie loloestrin.  Breat leaking on ocp and you are not breastfeeding is not normal.  It may be due to hypothyroidism or a prolactinoma.
