Hyperemesis Gravidarum Support and Research Forums

I never got sick with birthcontrol, but with Depo I gained a ton of weight, over 50 lbs in a matter of like 6 months Then I switched to the pill and was a walking zomby, no energy, no sex drive, moody, but never nauseated or sick.

I didn't vote, since I did have symptoms from the stuff just not the sick part

My OBGYN says I'm highly affected by estrogen so I should stay away from birth control pills / shots. Which is fine since DH is snipped

I get about HG sick when I take them and get hives because I'm allergic to them as well, so no bc for me. I have to use different methods of bc without using pills, shots, or patches.

Yes, when I was a teenager I started the pill,and I was always having weird episodes of nausea and vomiting. It took a long time before I realized it was the brth control. Ten years later,after my last pg, I tried the patch, and that was the worse. Every month I had more and more vomiting, and had to finally stop it. Now I have the Nuvaring, which only causes a little nausea, I love it!!
