Ok ladies I just switched Birth control pills because I didnt like how I was feeling on my previous one (which I was on for years). Now I just started the new one (Zovia) yesterday and I feel SOOOOOOOO sick to my stomach. Is this normal, should I wait it out a few days? I cant even go out because I feel so sick! HELP!

Re: Need help- Warning TMI
Yes, its normal.
As i understand it, it goes something like this:
The hormones in birth control pills are like the ones your body creates when your pregnant. The pill fools your body into thinking you are pregnant so you dont ovulate. So feeling sick at first is normal ... like it would be normal if you were pregnant.
I just started a new BC this month too and I was so sick for the first week. But its gone now.
Have some crackers and just wait it out.

I feel your pain. I was going thru the same thing last week.
I think different pills cause different reactions too. Im on the patch and that seemed to be a lot worse than the ortho tri cyclen.

Yes, my friend was so sick the first week of the patch. Let me know how you like it. I was thinking of trying that. I just went off estrostep, and I am not sure how I am liking this Zovia so far!
THE THINGS WOMEN HAVE TO GO THROUGH! I wish DH could just take a pill instead! LOL

Re: Need help- Warning TMI
Its week two for me and I like it already. I was just never able to remember to take it everyday at the same time with the pills...so i was always forgetting and doubling up which made me sick and spotty,etc.. I like having to do it only once a week.
