Q: Nausea and BCP's

Dear All,

I am on my second month of Birth Control pills, and took them the first month and 2 weeks with no problems. I took them every evening at 9 pm. Starting on week 3 of this month (on a triphasic regimn) I finished college (woo hoo!) and actually started having a night life (going out with my friends etc) and was frequently late and taking them around 2 and 3 am. 2 days over the last week I have felt so nauseated around dinner time that I can't eat. It comes in phases, that I feel nausated and them don't for about 4-5 hours.

Of course every BCP notes nausea as both a mild and severe side effect, so I don't know if I should just continue taking them but go back to my old 9 pm routine or if I should go to a doctor. I only have 3 days of active pills left on this pack.

I dont think switching the time you take your pill should have made a difference on making you sick...however, i do remember when I first started the pill for the first 2 or 3 packs i felt TERRIBLE all the time, I'd get random headaches, dizzy spells felt nauseated and it was like you, it would come and go..and i read on the pack that this was something that could occur for the first 2 or 3 packs..so i thought to myself, ok, i'll give it another month and if this keeps happening i'm done, no more pills..sure enough my body finally adjusted to the horomones i guess and I'm fine now so maybe you're just still adjusting to the pills, you did say it was your 2nd pack....

also, I had a related question to this topic and didn't want to post a new thread...yesterday I came down with some case of food poisoning I guess and got sick, threw up..it was 4 hours after taking my pill...so I should be fine right? any feedback welcomed!
