I’ve never taken birth control until yesterday. My period started yesterday and so I took the first pill before I went to bed at 10:30pm. I woke up around 4:00am very nauseous. I vomited at 6:00am. It was more like dry heaving. But I felt terrible for hours. I’m nervous to keep taking this pill. I have a pack of Lo Loestrin because this was the brand I originally got but never took because it was more expensive and my doctor had prescribed my Estarylla which was a cheaper alternative. Do I keep taking Estarylla to see if it happens again or try Lo Loestrin instead today?
Should I keep taking Estarylla?

It doesn't sound like that pill is going to suit you. I assume you've ruled out anything else that is likely to have caused the vomiting.
I get the same problem with most birth control pills.
I'd say get your doctor's/prescriber's advice ASAP, & switch to the other pill if you know it suits you better.
