I have been on mircette for almost six years now. Last fall my insurance decided that they did not want to cover the cost of the namebrand so now I am stuck w/ Kariva. I started Kariva last fall. I proceeded to get nauseaus almost every day and my periods were horrible. As a result I took myself off of this pill. However, folowing a mc in Feb. I am now back on. I am married (and I have endometriosis) so I really do need to be on BC (even though I wish I could be pregnant). This last period was awful, for two weeks before it started I had every horrible symptom of pregnancy. I cramped, got nauseaus, had headaches, and so on. Has any one else had good or bad experiences w/ Kariva? I even took seasonal for a while but that was even worse. Before my MC I never had any of these problems and I was on BC forever. What is going on?

Good luck and hugs!

Kariva is a generic for Mircette, I'm not sure why you all of a sudden started having problems with it. The hormones should be the same and of the same dose, but it's possible that you were having a reaction to the inactive ingredients. I guess I'm not really clear on what exactly happened, but your regular doctor should be able to help.
Good luck!
