terrible,terrible,agoninising periods (yeh,i no i can't spell)

Former Member

rightey,i started taking the pill with my last period + everything went fine,no huge problems. but this month when i started taking it again,i threw up everywhere,constantly + i've been layed up in bed since thursday (poor cara had to put up with my crabbit-ness )
thing is,i'm not sure wether to keep taking the pill or not.i only went on it as a contraceptive,but then the doctor told me how it helps regulate + calm my periods,so i'm like 'wayhey!',my periods are horrendous!although i've never vomited before,if i'm at school that day,i go straight to bed when i get home cos its so bad. am i wrong to expect the pill to calm my periods or is there something amiss here,with all the vomiting?!


cheers mucho xXx




ps: my boyfriends worried it'll make me infertile,can somebody please tell me thats not true?!

I get really bad pains and ive been back on the pill for about 2months now, the pain has been awful this past week. Im on microgynon. Also the sickness side im sure is a side-effect of the pill? I feel sick constantly since ive gone back on it, never been sick, but have been close.

The mini-pill

so,u'no how theres a 3 hour window on the mini pill? theres no mention of that on the combined pill,does that mean i have to take the pill at exactly the same time every day?! my doctor said to take it when i wake up,the same time each day,but i wake up all over the place coz i'm not at school just now. soory,i'm asking loadsa questions,can't exactly ask my mum,she aint too happy about me being on it,even though she's taking the same pill.

Former Member

Aslong as you take it within 12hours you're ok. Im exactly the same, sometimes il take it at 8am other times not til 11am, its cos im not in school now so im waking up at stupid times.

Tink - If you are worried about missing the three hour time slot you may want to consider moving the time you take it to lunchtime or before bed. You can talk this through with one of the following:

Brook Advisory Centres
Advice, counselling and medical help around contraception, pregnancy, abortion and sexual health.
Telephone: 0800 0185023

Family Planning Association
Information service on family planning and all aspects of sexual health.
Helpline: 0845 3101334

*chris'_bitch* - As for the pain and throwing up on the pill, if it doesn't go away you should go back to your GP and discuss trying another brand of pill.

:no: She's saying if the sickness doesnt stop or the pain, go back to your doctor and he/she can put you on another brand of pill to see if it will cease.
