WHICH PILL SHOULD I TAKE?

I DECIDED TO NOT HAVE THE MIRENA AND TAKE THE PILL. HOWEVER, I HAVE TAKEN THE YAZMIN BEFORE AND I WOULD GET NAUSEA AND HAD HEADACHES. HAS ANYONE TAKEN THE ORTHO OR YAZ AND HAVE YOU GOTTEN ANY BAD SIDE EFFECTS? I WOULD LIKE TO TELL MY DOCTOR TO PUT ME ON A PILL THAT WON'T MAKE ME FEEL SICK. I JUST NEED TO MAKE IT A ROUTINE OF TAKING THE PILL BEFORE I GO TO BED THAT WAY I WON'T FEEL THE SIDE EFFECT, IF ANY, AS BAD.

My obgyn thinks that I may have endo and put me on Ortho Lo.  I haven't been on birth control for a while, with the pain of the possible endo I have stopped having sex.  Anyway, I have been on the pill for about a month and a half.  I take it right before I go to bed and I make sure that I have a full stomach.  I still fell nauseated (sp?) though. Sometimes I think I have a stomach virus or something and then I start to feel better.  The thought of eating makes me sick, but I do it anyway and feel better after eating.  I am considering asking my obgyn for another type of bc because I'm tired of feeling sick.

i took ortho and felt sick for 6 mths strait until i finally just gave up.  a doc isn't going to know whether or not a pill will make you feel sick.  they will just switch you around until you hopefully find one that you "click" with
