Default Restarting BCPs...

I'm restarting the pills today. I've been off for a few months. Last time I took them I had really horrible nausea and vomiting, I'd be up dry heaving all night :-(

Anyone have any tips on how to avoid the nausea? I know I'm supposed to take it with a little food so I'll try to do that...anything else? It sucks cause my stomach's already been bothering me. Is there a certain time of day to take the pills where they won't bother me as much??

Hi,
I take my bcp at night, with a light snack. (If there is any nausea involved it must not be much because I sleep through it). I've heard it also helps to make sure and take your bcp at exactly the same time each day.
I take Lo/Ovral, not as many side effects as the higher strength bcp's but I've heard from different sources that it's a good choice for PCOS ladies. I like it so far, I've been on it for over a year now.
Good luck
Jenny

Maybe your dose is too high. I get extremely nauseated with anything higher than 20 mcg. Ask your doctor if you can try a BCP with less estrogen. Good luck!

I take mine with supper. I take it half way through my meal and it works fine for me. I agree that you are supposed to take it at the same time every day not more than 24 hours apart.

I take mine in the evening when I have dinner. Try taking it at the same time every day. It helps.
