Can Your Birth Control Pills Make You Sick???

I have had occasions where my pills make me feel sick to my stomach as well. It doesn't happen all the time. I have found that if I take them with my evening meal I do better with them than first thing in the morning.

I would doubt that you are pregnant after giving birth only 7 weeks ago, (if you are breastfeeding).

According to this website, double dosing for a missed pill can cause nausea for 12-24 hours. This information should be on your medication information insert.

By the way, I can't take birth control pills, because I always got sick on them as well.

My pills made me have nausea and since you took 2 at one time that is probably what is going on.

When I first started birth control pills... they made me VERY sick. It took my system a few days to get used to them. Also... you don't normally start having morning sickness due to pregnancy so soon.. I think it's usually around 7 weeks.

On the other hand... my doctor told me that you were VERY fertile during the 6 weeks after delivering a baby. It's really too soon to tell if you're pregnant with an at home test... so if you're really concerned about it, then call and see if your doctor will do a blood test for you.

Good luck!!

birth control pills have bad bad things in them
You should look up the brand and read up on it...
Make sure it doesn't cause cancer, blood clots, etc.
Most do.. be careful!

When I was on birth control pills, and I would miss one and double up the next day to catch up... I was ALWAYS feeling like that. It's definitely common.

Whenever i have been off of birth control pills for a while, I have to make sure I eat before taking a pill. If I take 2 because I am behind, I am almost guaranteed to throw up. They probably just affect you the same way. Eat some bread and drink some milk and you should feel better.

Birth control pills can make you sick. I have the Mirena IUD because my pills caused migraines and constant stomach issues. If it continues call your doc. They may be able to change your pill.

Hi K.,

Yes, BCP can make you feel ill. I started some after I had my first and I felt horrible for a little while. You may need a different pill.
