Hi, I have a question about birth control. I had my son 2 months ago and I’ve been on the pill for about a month now, I just started my second pack. I’m breastfeeding so I’m on the lowest dose of the progestin only (the mini pill.) My problem is that since I started the pill, I’ve had severe nausea almost 24/7. It’s the worst for the few hours after I take the pill and sometimes I can’t sleep because of it. I also get stomach cramps sometimes. Has anybody had this happen on the mini pill? How did you deal with it? I don’t want to get on a different type of birth control, especially not an implant.

I only feel that way if i missed one then take 2 1day so if i miss one by accident i just skip it and move to the next day, or yes i would try a different pill.
