A member asked:
When taking birth control, can it make you have nausea and diarrhea after having sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Birth control pills in the past often caused nausea, but that is less common today due to lower doses. Diarrhea is unlikely. It sounds like something else may be going on such as an ovarian cyst, and seeing a gyn may be a good idea if these symptoms persist. At the very least, make sure you are on a low dose pill such as loloestrin, or trisprintec (norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol).
