nausea and the pill

I'm in my fourth month of ortho tri-cyclen lo, and I've begun to experience nausea mid-way through the second week of pills this month. The nausea is there throughout the day, it doesn't start right after I take my pill. Does this sound like a side-effect of the pill?

Have other people who haven't previously had problems with nausea begun to experience it several months into the pill? (Of course I've considered the possibility that it could be morning sickness, but since I had my period a week and half ago, and I've been good about taking my pills on time, and I have only had sex once--three days ago--since before my last period, then from what I understand this would be a very early onset for morning sickness. I know nausea can be a symptom of any number of things...I'm not going to freak just yet.)

I haven't used that particular pill but on several of the pills I've been on throughout the years I've had that problem....

Has the nausea lasted for several days? I'm on my third day of feeling queasy. At what point should I really begin to worry about this?

You could try taking your pill with some saltines and at night so you would sleep through the nausea. And you might want to keep you doctor informed, and see what s/he advises. Let us know how you're doing, ok? I hope you're feeling better soon.

Good luck,
