BCP ?

So I started my 2nd pack of BCP Saturday, and this is the first time I've been on them in maybe 8 years.  I did the patch, mirena, and then was pregnant for 3 years (ok, so it just felt like it).

I remember getting sort of sick when I first went on BCP a loooooong time ago, but nothing after that first month.

Last month, I was really nauseated during the first couple of weeks, totally felt like MS (sort of scared me to death, haha), but I chalked it up to either starting all those hormones after being off them so long or a mild stomach bug.

I'm sitting here now, pack 2, having the exact same MS feeling as when I was KTFU.   Should this be happening?  How many cycles should I have to go through before this stops?  Ugh.  I cannot do this every month!

I was/am on Yazmin. I was nauseous and always hungry. It lasted about 3-4months.  I kept thinking I was pregnant too. I remember I was going to call to switch pills, but then it suddenly stopped.

When I was on BCP I felt sick for the first three or four months as well. It's just because your body is getting acclimated to the new hormone levels (one of the reasons pregnant ppl have MS). My OBGYN said it was completely normal for the first few months, and that it can be uncomfrotable but should go away.

Sorry you feel sick tho!
