well 4 days ago my insurance didnt cover my microgestin-fe (which i have been on for a year)so my doc switched me to low-ogestrol. and ive been feeling nausious ever since. i had to wait for a week for them to hand me my pills. that whole week i had my period and was finishing up my brown-inactive pills from my last microgestin-fe pack. and i had unprotected sex but the nurses said as long as i was taking my brown pills i was safe. could it be the dosage of hormones that have made me feel icky? i actually felt a lil better but last night i started cramping up a little

Different variations of hormones can make some people feel sick-- this has happened to a few people I know. Sometimes eating with your pill helps... other times, taking it right before bed can make the nausea go away because your pill does not have to compete with food to be absorbed.
Try taking your pill at a different time, but if that doesn't work, I'd suggest trying a new pill or form of contraception.
