Hi. I just started on Yasmin this past Sunday. (Day 1 happened to be a Sunday) I took Sunday's pill, missed Monday's pill and took Monday's and Tuesday's today.

Today I feel sick to my stomach and headachy. Could this be a result of having extra hormones in me today from taking two pills...and also starting on bcp new? I know there is no way to tell 100% if it is the cause, but has anyone else experienced this?

It’s not unusual to feel a bit nauseous and headachy after beginning OCs. If your symptoms are from the pill they usually disappear in about 3 cycles as your body becomes accustomed to the hormones in your pills.

I hope you’re feeling better soon
