A member asked:
Was on gildess fe just switched to ortho-cept 3 days ago & been feeling very nauseous. could it just be my body adjusting to different hormone levels?

Maybe: You have increased your Estrogen dose from 0.2mcg to 0.3mcg when you switched pills. This is a very small increase but Estrogen can cause nausea. You could give it some time and see if you adjust. If not you can go back on the other pill or switch to a more effective nondaily option that does not contain Estrogen such as an IUD or Nexplanon
