nausea and BCP's

dumbluck · 02-10-2003, 04:43 PM

A friend of mine who also has PCOS just went back on BCP's. her dr said it was either that or DNC. Problem is - she gets very sick and is always "out there" when shes on them. She has always had this problem and that's why she went off them to begin with. I thought someone here might have some suggestions for this. thx for your help.

I have the same problem. Every bcp I try these days makes me sick to my stomach. The thing is that my skin used to look great with Diane 35 (which I now can't digest anymore) and I'm looking for something new as my skin looks very bad now. I want to try dermabrasion to (hopefully) get rid of scars and enlarged pores, but first I want to find a bcp (or med) that prevents future outbreaks Any thoughts?

How about the patch. The hormones are similar to ortho cyclen so very good for pcos yet it is absorbed through the skin instead of the digestive tract. I know many who use it and love it!!!
