I started yaz birth control April 30th 2009. the next morning it made me vomit but i was fine the rest of the day. I have been doing well so far. May 23rd is the last time i had sex. the next day i started the white pill which starts my period. my next period was on June 21st. it was very light, almost no bleeding and only a couple days long. today is july 6th. for the past week i have been having nausea off and on. july 4th i vomited 5 times from 1:00pm until 9:30 pm. i couldn't keep any food down and the nausea was constant. it has been 6 weeks since i had sex. the next morning i took an at home pregnancy test. it was negative so i continued the pill. i didn't vomit but i had constant nausea all day. today i have been nauseated since i woke up and feel like vomiting. i took the pill this morning too. i am worried, i don't want to continue the pill if i am pregnant and i don't want to miss it if i'm not. i have no health insurance and no money at this time to go to the doctor. my mom said if i get worse she would take me to the ER. at this time my only symptom is the nausea and urge to vomit. my next period isn't due until July 19th.
i'm not sure where to post this so it's in birthcontrol and pregnancy.. please help!

How about you stop taking the pill and also don't have un-protected sex for the next month and see if it's the pill that is making you ill, or a flu that you are not aware that you have, and take another pregnancy test in a weeks time.

Cover all bases.

i took yaz for a total of 2 days and woke up in the middle of the night to nausea. Then I vomited every 20 minutes for about 6 or 7 hours. I actually had to go to the emergency room =/ So vomiting is def. not uncommon for me. I suggest stop taking the pill, go to your doctor, and ask about birth control methods that don't have to go through your GI tract (digestive system)

ex) depo shot, nuvaring(sp?), patch

those kinds of things. that's what I did and I had my first depo shot today. I had a bit of a panic attack thing at the office but so far so good with nausea and vomiting. =) *knock on wood* so try one of those options because I had the same problem. (vomited on three different pills)

Good luck! =)

About a week into taking Yaz, I became very nauseated. I was at school and taking my finals, and ran outside to vomit. If you can try sticking it out for a bit, then great. I felt sick for a few days after, as well. That month I also had spotting, until I actually got my period. Usually side affects will clear up in a few months. You are definitely normal =]

A lot of people get sick when they start birth control pills. It happens to everyone in my family. It helps to take it in the morning with food instead of at night. No one in my family can take them at night or we wake up feeling sick and don't feel good until we throw up. I found after I'd taken it for a month I could slowly move the time I was taking it until it was before bed. Since I don't get up the same time every morning it was making things difficult. I would suggest trying to take it at a different time of day and with food. If that doesn't work try a different pill. I can only take certain ones and ended up on yasmin for years after 2 others did not work for me.
