Am I having side effects

two weeks ago I woke up with sever pain in my lower right stomach. The doctor had me get a CT scan to see if it was appendicitis, but it turned out to be a ruptured ovarian cyst. my doctor prescribed birth control to keep the cysts from forming. I started the pills the next day. One week later, I started experiencing nausea and depression. I felt like I didn't want to eat, and I threw up but felt better later on. I thought it was a side effect of the pill, which I stopped taking after this incident. (I didn't consult my doctor, only because I am fifteen and am on a vacation without my parents. My mom however called the doctor and he prescribed a new brand of pills which I am starting tomorrow. He didn't specify whether or not I should continue the current pills, so I stopped taking them.) Now, today, I am feeling nauseous again and have thrown up three times in four hours. It mostly seems to happen when I move. Could this be a lasting side effect from the pill? Last time I had no fever, but now I do. Is this a side effect, or do I have the flu? was it wrong to stop the pills? Are there any alternatives to birth control that I could take? thanks
additional info: My period is irregular and I did not have it for three months until shortly after starting the pill. It is only now starting to stop, and has lasted about fifteen days. Do I have the flu, or is this another side effect from the pill?

Sounds like the fluid from your cyst bursting is probably the culprit, may have caused an infection, especially if you are vomiting and running a fever. Go get checked out
