Nauseous from BCP

Last night was my 4th night on BCP.  Dr has me on Necon.  I'm supposed to take it with food, which i have been doing-I take it with dinner.  Im okay at night, but when i wake up in the morning, i am extreamly nauseous!!!  This morning i almost threw up 3 times.  Sometimes it feels like just a dry heave, other times I think I'm really going to loose it.

I really don't want to complain to my RN about this cuz A)im not sure if there is a reason they want me on this particualr BCP and B)I don't want RN to feel im a huge baby!

Has anyone else had this side effect of their BCP?  Any home remedies to fix it?

If i eat breakfast right away in AM, that helps a little, but it usually just takes a few hours to go away.

Re: Nauseous from BCP

  • You might want to ask. I was on a different kind of BCP, so I'm sure they have other options. I hope you feel better. BCPs made me feel the worst, but stims made me dumb.

  • yes, when i first started taking them (non-if related) i was INCREDIBLY nauseous in the morning.  You should keep saltines by your bed and eat them BEFORE getting up, it will help!  also, try ginger of some sort .  basically treat it like morning sickness, ironically enough. =/

  • oh and it usually goes away in a week or so-- so you might be almost out of the woods.  Are you on them for very long anyway? however,  I would DEFINITELy say something, they might be able to switch you to a lower dose. you aren't being a baby!

  • I am on the same BCP. Last night was my last pill, Thank God!!! I was horribly nauseous when I started taking it and it lasted the whole time. I would take it at night with dinner and I would be fine but every morning as soon as I would start to get moving the nausea would start and last until the afternoon.
    I tried every remedy I could think of, flat coke, ginger ale, crackers, b6, ginger root! You name it i tries it and nothing worked.
    Hope you get some relief soon!

  • Same thing happened to me.  I couldn't function at work because of the nausea.  After three days I called the RN, and they put me on Nuva Ring which was much better.  Good Luck!
