His and Her Health

Hello,<BR>I am currently on Ortho Evra the bc patch. I am going to try switching to the Ortho TriCyclen-Lo pill. The patch has caused me to be sick at my stomach, so my question is...what is the best time of day to take the pill if bc has previously given you problems with nausea? I am assuming it would be best to take it with food. Is that right? Would it be better to take it in the morning or evening? Anyone who has experienced this please feel free to offer your opinion.<P>Thanks<P>------------------<BR>~Holly~<p>[This message has been edited by Love2Sing (edited 16 September 2003).]

Love2Sing,<P>I had that problem too. It's best to take the pill at night, or with food. And the nausea often goes away after the first month.

Well, I've been on birth control for over a year now. For the first 5 months I was throwing up every month when I would have my period and then start the new bc. Then it went away. So I stayed on it thinking my body had just gotten used to it. Well, last month I had my period and when I started the new bc I threw up again. So I'm going to try another one. The Ortho Evra has just given me problems that I just don't want to keep dealing with. I'm somewhat scared that when I try this new stuff I will go through the same thing but I'm really hoping I won't.<P>So when you took it in the evening did it not bother your stomach as much?<P><P>------------------<BR>~Holly~
