"I am a 17 year old girl. I weight 125 pounds,and am 5&#039;5&#039;&#039;. I have been on this medication for about 4 days now. I like it, but at the same time, I don&#039;t. This is the first birth control I have ever been on. So, I have been having mild nausea and headaches, but nothing else. I started this birth control with 4 days left in my period. It ended on time, and was very light for the last day or two. I take it around bedtime, but since I get that sick feeling, it keeps me from falling asleep easily. But don&#039;t feel discouraged. Once I fall asleep, I am knocked out for the night. It&#039;s great and then I wake up in the morning again, and feel sick, but it should get better after month 3. "
