I get horrible nausea the day after I put on my birth control patch after my break week. Does anyone else? It seems to go away the next day but it’s extremely annoying especially if I have plans. I’ve been on it for about three months now so all other side effects (headaches, breast tenderness) have disappeared, but this one seems to be persistent. Any tips?

Could be that you're more sensitive to hormonal fluctuations. Adjustment phase can also last up to 6 months, even though side effects such as nausea can occur whenever while taking birth control even if you're on it for years.

Could just not having the break week from now on help ? If i wear the patch continuously will I still get nauseous, because I assume it’s from not having it on for a week and then all of the hormones rushing back.

You could skip your break weeks to see if it helps, but check in with your prescription as you’ll need additional refills.
