feel like gagging when taking the pill
| Thu, 11-04-2004 - 9:48pm |
I dont know if anyone feels the same as I do, but when I pop out the pill I feel like gagging for some odd reason... I dont like to take pills I guess... I recently got back on the pill about a month ago... I had no problem in the past when I was on it... I dont feel like going back on the shot... does anyone else feel like gagging when taking the pill?


If it really bothers you, there are other options than Depo-Provera (the shot) for you. You could try OrthoEvra (the patch, worn for three weeks with a patch change every weeks and then a patch-free week so that you can have your period) or Nuvaring, a vaginal ring worn for three straight weeks and then removed so that you can have your period.
Information about most of these methods are available on this message board. You should check some of the posts in the FAQ section.
Hope this helps!

I too had the same problem you are having. I started on bc when I was 13 for irregular periods and took them till I was 17. 2 yrs later I wanted to get back on them cus me and hubby didnt want to have kiddos right away. I started with the pills I used to take and just the thought of taking it made me sick to my tummy. My dr gave me another Rx with a lower dose of estrogen and same thing happend and then another with lower estrogen and still sick to the tummy. After that I really didnt want to try another pill so I asked about the patch which I was started on. I really love wearing the patch. You dont have to worry about taking a pill everyday and it stays on like its supposed to. The greatest thing is, since they havent came out with anything for the men, besides condoms, I get my hubby to stick it on me and hold it down. That way he is involved in OUR bc ways.
I do hope that my situation has helped. And I hope that you find something that helps you in a better way.
