In the past, when the morning after pill was first being used, vomiting and nausea were relatively common among women who had taken the drug.  This was due to the high levels of different hormones within these first pills, something that a lot of women found hard to stomach.  However, as medicine has advanced, so too has the morning after pill.  Now it is rare for you to experience bad nausea, with only around 1 in 60 women actually being sick after taking the morning after pill.

• Everyone is different, some people report drinking milk and eating regular snacks help when experiencing nausea after taking the morning after pill, however this might not necessarily help you.  Do what you feel comfortable with.
