I would try to finish the month supply, but if you feel really bad, then talk to your doctor again.

Carry on taking them. I've just started taking the pill also just under a week ago, and the first day i was in pretty much agony! Remember this a totally new thing for your body, so of course your gonna feel a bit rough at first! Felt like i was sick all the time and had headaches etc. But i continued taking them and the feeling ill gets less and less as your body gets used to it. I only get mild headaches now and so in a few more days i'll be back to normal. Try to stick it out, but depends how long you've been taking it for. Read the leaflet that came with the pills and if you still feel really bad, ask the doctor.

The pill is not making you feel "unhealthy." (Unless you are allergic to it or something...) If you are sexually active, I wouldn't just stop taking them. Many people I know stopped taking them (to get pregnant) and got pregnant a few days after they stopped taking them. I would just stay on them. Try going for a walk, that mught help with your cramps. Or get a heating blanket.

I would stop taking them, but you may have your period early. Maybe call your doc and see if they can prescribe you something else that you could take right away. Like restart on a different pill within 24 hours of bleedin. See if the new ones work.

I would think that like any other type of medication it will take a while for it to settle down in your system and that you will probably have to take them for a few weeks untill they really kick in and ease off making you feeling so ill. if it does continue you should almost certainly contact your doctor about half way through the course as it may be that the medication is not right for you and your body. don't worry though as you will make yourself worse :)

You really should finish at least you first pack and see if you begin feeling better. It does normally get better, and if not, your doctor should be able to put you on a lower dose.
If you stop right now, you will begin bleeding and your next one or two cycles may be messed up.

you shouldn't just stop them, as ur body could have an adverse effect from trying to get used to the pills...
try calling ur DR who perscribed them to you, and explain ur symptoms...
I'm taking them for the same reason as you, and for the 1st month they did nothing, i've been on them for maybe 6months and now i'm hardly in any pain at all, and the cycle itself only lasts maybe 3days.. it could just be that u need to wait a month or 2 till they start to work...
Just try and relax, drink plenty of water and def call ur doctor...
take care =)

Finish the month, then you can stop them. You might have a really bad period if you just stop them in the middle.

I would contact your doctor and talk to them....I have heard that if you stop the pill when not suppose to you can get pregnant faster.

now if you feel that bad, stop taking them, but do have in mind that this will seriously mes up your cycle. it might come again in a few day, next week, or in 4 weeks.
