BCP = insomnia??

I am a normal sleeper, usually going to bed around 10, with no trouble falling asleep. I'm only on my third day of BCP but I can not sleep at all. It's almost 1 am! I'm on Reclipsen. Last night was like this too. Should I call and ask about a different BCP? Or is this just a random fluke? Thankfully the NBA playoffs are on late tonight or I'd be misersble!

I'm a high school teacher, and that 7am start time and my 5am alarm! tomorrow is going to be rough :/

    I am on Apri and am having similar issues. I am generally falling asleep ok to start, but I am up every hour or so, wide awake. I think it's pretty normal. I'm not sure if there is a better brand of BCP for this, but from what I understand the side effect
    TTC since June, 2011 with anovulatory PCOS, 1 blocked tube, and mild MFI
    3rd cycles clomid + Ovidrel = BFN
    4th cycles letrozole/Ovidrel + IUI = BFN
    IVF #1 = BFP! Twins due 2/5/2014

    I'm on Apri, and I'm having trouble sleeping as well. I had a glass of wine and 3mg of melatonin last night and slept through the night FINALLY.
