I started birth control (Lavora) in March. A week into the pills, I quit taking them because I literally could not function. I was nauseaous, anxious, my breasts had increased a full cup and a half in size and I was having severe headaches. I explored the option of non hormonal birth control as the nurse practioner advised me that I may be intolerant to hormones. So I tried the IUD (now know as an IUC). That didnt work either because they couldn't get it through because my Cervix wouldnt soften. They even put me on a drug also used for abortions to help soften the cervix and it still didnt help. The nurses advised me to wait for my period and to start birth control pills again because I was ineligible for the IUD. I waited almost a month. I didn't get a period and out of normal reaction took a pregnancy test. The test came back negative. I called a nurse practionier to discuss my situation and get her advice. (I don't have health insurance so I don't have a lot of options when it comes to medical advice or attention). She told me that I am hormonally imbalanced and to just start my pills (YAZmin) right away. I started my pills that night. I take them every night just before bed. However, I am 3 weeks in and have spent 2 of those weeks with EXTREME nausea. I cannot eat anything without wanting to throw up. But if I dont eat, I get nauseaous from lack of food and nutrition to the point of muscle fatigue, light headedness and body weakness. With or without food, I end up nauseaous and unable to function. This doesnt just last an hour or so either, it lasts all day long. The only solice I find is when I sleep. I have also noticed that it seems to be getting worse and not any better. I have tried eating blander foods that will not necessarily upset a stomach. It has not helped. What do I do? I am miserable. What are symptoms that someone would have if they were intolerant to BC? How would I know if I was really intolerant to BC?
