Side Effects

Boo. :( My yucky side effects from the stupid birth control pills are back with a vengeance. They showed up approximately 4 hours after the 1st pill was popped. I've now popped 4 pills, and the side effects have intensified. Main side effects: hot flashes, food/smell aversions and constant low-level unease/nausea. I'm trying to pretend that this is a prep for morning sickness. Hopefully, it is a "practice run" and I'll truly be sick with morning sickness in a few short weeks. In the meantime, I've been trying to avoid smells/foods that make me ill. I also picked up some ginger to help settle my stomach. Only 7 more pills to go.
