I've been on Loestrin24 for about a month. I have been having a lot of nausea, but that's about it. I've tried many other kinds of bc pills before, and they all have side effects. Everybody responds differently!! How many women have taken any birth control pill for the first 3 months with NO side effects??? If there is one out there PLEASE tell me what it is..............Deal with them or have your tubes tied or be celibate..Those are the other options...lol

I have to say, I am not experiencing any horrific side effects like some of you. When I first started taking the pill about a month ago I did for a week or so wake up with nausea but only once did I actually vomit. As many people have mentioned, different bodies react differently, and I went on the pill not to avoid pregnancy but to decrease pain associated with my periods. The women in my family have terrible episodes at the onset of the periods, PARALYZING cramps, headaches, vomiting, weakness, even fainting. My last period was hardly a period, I had minimal cramps and only spotted a couple days... no bleeding at all. So for me this pill has done more good that bad. But again, it is a smart move to talk to your doctor if you are experiencing such awful side effects. One pill is not always right for every person. And hey, if many are really worried about getting pregnant but are going through this HELL experience due to birth control, explore other options; getting tubes tied or men 'snipped' might be in fact a better alternative. I wish you all well and better health!
