City: San Diego State: California | Freaked out!
For the last three day, for breakfast, i have had a piece of wheat toast with some butter. For some reason, today, I threw up like 2 hours afterward. Not like LAP-BAND® spit up, but throw up like flu. Than earlier this week I had like half of a piece of pizza around lunch. About an hour after that I threw it up. the difference, with the pizza, I felt sick. With the toast it just happened. Funny thing is, i have been eating normal and those are the only two times I've gotten sick. I haven't felt nauseas at all except with the pizza. For the 2 days before this, I took my birth control midday. today, i have already taken it this morning. BUT I have been on the pill for almost 4 years now. i haven't switched any other medication. I have for the last 2 months been pretty irregular with the times i'm taking my birth control though. Could this have something to do with it? Am I getting sick because of my band?
HELP!

| Not to scare you....
What you describe is exactly how my "morning" sickness was. I would recommend you take a pregnacy test if there is that possibity. You can still get pregnant on the pill. Also, not taking them at the same time every day can throw off your cycle. I hope you feel better soon.

Go POAS (pee on a stick). Sounds like morning sickness to me.

Well if it turns out you aren't PG (and from your response I'm assuming you don't want to be...), then I recommend the Nuvaring birth control. I forget to take b/c pills and so it's nice to have something doin the work for me even when I forget. Plus, it's lower dosage and higher success rate.
Good luck, with whatever happens!

Please let us know after you find out for sure either way. I know I don't speak for just myself when I say whatever the outcome, it is not the end of the world. There are always answers, alternatives and ways of coping with almost anything as long as you have support. Please don't do anything rash until you have a chance to see what works best for you and only you. Take care and let us know.

I wouldn't really kill myself lol. I just can't be pregnant. No way. My body isn't even healthy enough for me to get pregnant. I'll take a test and let you know.

I got pregnant on the pill too. And if you're not taking the pill at the same time every day, you're increasing your odds of getting pregnant. Also, weight loss seems to make us more fertile. Good luck.

Pee test was negative. I got about 8 of them too. So if I find one that says positive I'll let you know. I think my body is just reacting to the huge amount of change that i've been having. :]

Nope I haven't heard of anyone else around here getting sick except for my boyfriends boss. She said she has had kind of the same thing. They work at KFC and sometimes he brings me a little thing of mashed potatos home. Maybe his boss has had the same thing. Who know! I think I have been extra hard on my body lately though. This isn't the first time in the last couple months I've been scared. I skipped my period like 3 months ago. But like i said, I have been really hard on my body lately. Especially with stress!
