Hormonal Contraception: The Pill [General Discussion]
in Women's Health ·
Hey there.
So, I just started on birth control. My doctor put me on Novynette—just a standard checkup, nothing fancy, no extensive bloodwork or anything like that. After the second pill, everything went sideways: nausea, vomiting, anxiety, depression, the shakes... all of it. It lasted about four days before things settled down. But then, it hit me again right around the 12th or 13th pill. Now, I’m dealing with daily nausea, depression, and anxiety. Most mornings, I end up throwing up just bile because my stomach has already processed whatever food I ate, so there's nothing left. Yesterday, a massive headache joined the party. I've finished this first pack, and now I'm stuck in that seven-day break, wondering if I should even bother continuing given how miserable this feels. Honestly, getting back in to see my OB-GYN isn't going to be easy right now. What do you guys think? Is it even remotely normal to feel this sick every single day? Are these pills just a bad match for my body? Should I keep going? 🤷
