Vomits

How long will the nausea effect from my birth control last?

I just began taking Yaz, a low-dose estrogen birth control. I hear that it's typical to experience nausea when taking it, and I've had some pretty intense sickness in the past week. Does anyone know how long this will last (perhaps you had a similar experience) or a way to alleviate the symptoms?

1. It usually takes about three months for side effects to go away. It kind of sucks, but usually once those three months pass, you are good to go. Try ginger tea and taking the pill with a meal.
