On 2nd pack of ortho tri cyclen...?

Question

i took all my pills, on time, every day through the first pack. I just started the 2nd pack, and within the first few hours of the first pill, i was vomiting, and i've been having headaches. Is this my body's way of getting use to the pills? I didn't feel like this on the first pack...

Answer 1

Being on the pill can cause headaches for some women. As for the nausea you can try eating something like about 15 minutes before you take your medicine such as peanut butter (if not allergic to peanuts of course) to help put some protein in your body (yep, peanut butter can help with protein, I learned this from a medical assistant that used to work for my gyencologist years ago). It should help counteract some of the nausea.

The fact that you didn't feel this way on the first pack of pills tells me it's possible that yes it could be related to adjusting to being on the pill but I would recommend contacting your dr to see what they think to be on the safe side.
