Pill side effects?

Unread post by Jellowl »

Hello!

I've been on the pill for almost 3 months now and have been having little to no side effects from it. I've had some spotting that has gotten better as the months progress and the positive effects of less digestive distress near my period. However, lately I've been having some nausea that has randomly popped up for no reason. No vomiting, just nausea and there isn't any digestive distress with it. I do not believe that I could be pregnant because the situation is very unlikly (i.e never missing a pill, using condoms with no breaks, ejaculation outside of vagina still with condom on, etc.) so I'm not worried about that. Is it possible for new symptoms to develop as you use the pill longer or is my nausea a fluke? (It is flu season, yuck)

Thanks for the advice,
Have a nice day!

Nausea is one of those symptoms that could be associated with almost everything in the world, you know? And that's why is so hard to give it a single meaning.

We cannot say for sure why you are getting this lately, sadly, but if it lasts more than a couple of weeks and it adds up to something else that bothers you, checking in with your health care provider in person might be your best choice.

I hope you have a nice day too! :)
