    Unhappy Does anyone know if Femulen makes you vomit?

    I didn't really know where else to ask and I couldnt find much on the web so I was just wondering if anyone knew if the contraceptive pill 'Femulen' can make you vomit?
    I read the side effects and one of the common ones said that it can cause nausea and vomiting and now i'm worried to take it I realise it effects people in different ways but I reallly don't want to take something if it makes me vomit.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    I don't know about that specific one, but I've never felt n* or V*ed from taking my pill. It might mean that it's a side effect when you first start taking it while your body is getting used to it, but if you look on the side effects for just about any drug, it'll tell you there's a possibility of N* or V*. Most won't cause that, they're just covering their asses.

    I have taken so many different birth control pills and did not v* from any of them. At first with a few different ones I felt a little n*, but it could also have been me getting nervous and "expecting" it.
    Most of them don't cause that. Take it in the morning with food, or take it at night if you're worried about n*. The important thing is to take it at the same time every day for effectiveness.

    I take Errin (Microner) which is a progestin only BCP and it too had nausea and v* listed as some of the top side effects. I think that's pretty typical of all BCP's because they mess with your hormones for a period of time before your body adjusts.

    Admittedly I did get quite queasy for the first week or so after starting mine. It wasn't horrible... and it was kept at bay by munching on saltines or something all day (kind of like mild morning sickness I guess). I bought Dramamine about 4 days in and that cured any of the icky feelings pretty much immediately.

    I always take mine at night with dinner, or shortly afterwards and that has always worked well for me.

    Thanks everyone
    I know N* and V* are listed on litrally every medicine but my phobia's running high at the moment and it worried me more this time round.
    I've taken one today at lunch after frantically reading some forums to put my mind at rest, so thanks for your answers, it's helpful to know how it effects other women
