I've been taking birth control for about six days now. But I've been having horrible migranes and I've been very sick to my stomach. And today I've started having horrible cramps, even though I'm not on my period. Should I stop taking the pill?

Dont' ask here. Phone your doctor.

Naw. Just double the dosage every day until the side effects go away, you run out of pills, or you die. Because of the high volume of stupid people in the world, I feel compelled to add the following: Don't do what I just told you to.

Is this your first time taking the pills? This is not unusual as your body is still making adjustments to the hormone levels. Birth control pills give you a "false pregnancy" state, so you can have symptoms of morning sickness. If this is not your situation, then please call your doctor.

You should right away ask your doctor about the same :)

I don't know, you can keep having unprotected sex, but at the price of extreme discomfort, or you could think rationally and stop taking the pill and maybe feel normal. Condoms aren't that bad...

Taking it with food and at approximately the same time during the day will lessen stomach upset and cramps. Headaches are a common side effect while your body adjusts to the hormones. Taken with a substantial amount of food, you can try to give it a little longer...but if symptoms persist beyond the first pack of pills I would revisit the doctor for another method of birth control more suitable to your body's needs.

This is normal for some people. Keep taking your pill and if this doesnt go away in the next month or so you might ask about switching to a different birth control.

you should try taking it with food and also if you dont like the side effects after 2 months i say you should switch.
