Feeling sick after starting BC
| Mon, 06-14-2004 - 4:44pm |
Hi, I've been on the pill for a week. I've been feeling really sick and very sad. I feel nauseous all the time, I get real bad cramps, my back hurts and I have headaches. I cry just because. I don't have a reason to. Does this have anything to do with the pill or am I going to through something else? I've always had alot of trouble with my periods and usually get cramps all month but not like this. It even goes down a bit to my legs.
Thank you in advance

Nausea, mood swings and cramps can all be side effects of starting hormonal contraceptives. You might want to try taking your pill with a little food, some crackers or something light which might help with the nausea. Side effects from OCs should go away in about three or four cycles, if not, the pill you are on probably isn’t the pill for you. I hope you are feeling better soon.
Good luck and hugs,
Jill
