I wanted to ask people how their side effects were in the first months on the pill. Specially looking in on nausea but I just wanted to hear what happened to others since I’m getting hit with nausea side effects. 💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💊💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💊💊💊💊💊💊💊 Brand: Alesse 28

I just started taking the pills too. When I took my first pill, I had a mild stomachache & very light nausea. But now that I’ve taken 7 pills so far I don’t feel those side effects anymore. I am on Yaz brand

You are in the adjustment phase (first 3-6 months) where side effects are extremely common, there so no way of knowing how long they will last for but usually settle down by the end of the adjustment phase. As for the nausea some people take their pill with food to try avoid it or right before bed

I didn’t have side effects straight away, only a couple months in.

I’m three weeks in, my boobs hurt, the first week I was a sobbing mess, I’ve definitely been less sexual which isn’t new, but I don’t even masturbate or get kinda turned on when my bf and I make out (I’m asexual, but on the sex positive side of the spectrum), I also haven’t been eating a lot this week, and I don’t even want my favorite foods, I was a little nauseous after the first week, and have cramps if I forget my pill for an hour or two after my set time

I definitely had nausea

Maybe it was just in my head but I take my pill at 8p, and when I don’t eat right before or after I get nausea for a little while!

I definitely had nausea for the first couple of days. It was awful i hated it. When that cleared i had stomach aches, my boobs hurt, and so did my back (likely bcs of my boobs lol) but all of that is gone now and ive felt the same as ever
