"at the beginning, it caused a lot of nausea. i would wake up in the middle of the night feeling awful. i&#039;m about 6 months in now, and the nausea has almost disappeared. the only times it comes back are when i don&#039;t eat when taking the pill. i never get pimples or acne anymore and my periods are tolerable. it&#039;s protected me really well from pregnancy so far and hope it stays that way!"
