Pill and nausea

[peanuthead]

Started taking the Pill (Microgynon) about 10 days ago prior to IVF. Beeen really nauseous since last fri and was actually sick today (behind cafe rouge)

If it was only for contraceptive purposes I'd stop but have to take it for the full 21 days or it'll stuff up my cycle.

Feel utterly dreadful though - anyone any idea how long it normally lasts for? The whole cycle or does it wear off? I've not taken it since a teenager!

This is the pill I used to take. I can say that the sickness feeling never went away. Its a common side effect of this pill. I told my nurse about it and she made me do a pregnancy test just incase but, confirmed it was just the pill (the extra hormones) making me feel sick. How long do you have to take it for? Is it for more than 21 days?

I was on microgynon for 5 yrs and my body's cyle went haywire. I think I only ever took a 3/4 breaks in the whole time. Although you should do it every 3 months and have a break.

No only for 21 days, but at the moment even another 10 days feels like a long time. I suppose I should look at it as a trial run for morning sickness just in case the IVF actually works. Which is in fact exactly how it feels.

I know it makes me depressed which is why I haven't taken it for years so was ready for the gloom descending but gloom and nausea is a step too far.

Thank-god I don't need contraception!

Yes I hear you about the depressed feeling too. Thats one reason why I came off it altogether. I now feel great and just using condoms as my cylce seems to be more regular without the pill!

I really hope the IVF will work for you. Stay positive and know that its only for 10 more days!

Eat some hinger biscuits or drink ginger tea.

Good Luck!!!!!!!
