Posting this again....PLEASE help

I already posted this a while ago, and didnt get much response. I have the 21 day birth control pack..and the first week of each pack always makes me feel nauseas.I take the pill at bed time each night and then early the next morning (4-5am) i feel nauseas, and sometimes i end up puking. Ive been on the pill for about 6 months now. Do you have any tips that can help me? this really sucks because i lose sleep each night, and it especially sucks when i have to be up at 7:00 am to go to work. Also, my birth control pack tells me that there is 0.180mg of hormone for the first week, 0.215 the second week and 0.250 the third week. Shouldnt i be feeling the side effects during the third week with the most amount of hormone or no? ive always wondered...i might be dumb though. Anyways, thanks alot! i really appreciate it.

I just started taking Yasmin on July 9, and I havent had any problems with it yet. I just noticed yesterday and the other day more CM, however today is rather dry. I always here other women getting sick to their stomachs but I haven't yet, I guess I'm lucky or it will get to me one day.

Often the first week of a pill pack is the worst, nausea-wise.  Mostly b/c on the inert week, your body gets used to not having the extra hormone on board.

Call your doctors office and describe what's going on.  They could put you on a different type, or one with a constant level of hormone like Seasonale or something.

Think about switching pills. Maybe a no period pill (- video info here - would have more even hormone dosing that wouldent mess with you so much. - Kate from the womens health desk at

Maybe try taking the pill at a different time of day. I take mine at 7pm everyday.
