Patient's question:
[Condition Description: Nausea, feeling like pregnancy might be possible. Medical history and effectiveness: No treatment, desired help: Is there a possibility of pregnancy?]Doctor's answer:
Classical early pregnancy-like reactions are relatively common, accounting for approximately 50% of users. The symptoms are usually initially severe and gradually become milder before disappearing, which may be related to the body gradually adapting. In the initial stages of medication, a small number of people may experience mild early pregnancy-like reactions, such as nausea, dizziness, weakness, loss of appetite, fatigue, and vomiting. These reactions often occur during the first two weeks of medication. The reasons are related to a temporary excess of estrogen levels, leading to fluid and sodium retention in the body and gastrointestinal dysfunction. Generally, after persisting with medication for 2–3 months, the reactions can naturally disappear or lessen. Scheduling medication time in the evening before bedtime can make daytime reactions milder. For those with more severe reactions, taking vitamin B6 (20 mg per dose, three times daily) may help. If there is still no improvement, switching to a different contraceptive pill with lower estrogen content can be considered. These reactions are often caused by long-acting oral contraceptives. This is because such pills contain high levels of estrogen, which excessively affects cervical mucous membrane secretion cells, causing them to secrete more and leading to increased vaginal discharge.
