Ortho Cyclen Question

Thu, 05-18-2006 - 10:26am

I just switched on Sunday from Ortho TRI-Cyclin to Orton Cyclin. My doctor switched me because the Tri-Cyclin quit working and I was having breakthrough bleeding. Anyway. I am on day 4 of the Ortho-Cyclin and I am so queasy it isn't even funny. I take all my meds at night before I go to. Well the last two mornings (including this morning) I have woke up and about 10 minutes after waking I am in the bathroom praising the procelein god. Of course there is nothing in my stomach.....so it is just bile. Is this normal for the Ortho-Cyclin???


I have a doctor appointment on Tuesday for my annual exam, but was wondering if any of you could help me out before then. Thanks for any advice or info.

That seems strange that you're having so much more nausea right now--as Jill said, Ortho Cyclen is very similar to Ortho Tri Cyclen. Usually estrogen is the culprit with nausea, but in this case the progestin level is higher.
