Questions related to having vomiting feeling and bowl movements - #16635
I had asked a question earlier and was taking ovarl l for 21 days after which I got my withdrawal bleed on 21st November and it was a light period for 3 days and now my doctor has advised me to take another pack of ovarl l which I had started on 25th novber and yesterday I suddenly had a feeling of vomiting and had 4 times stools passing in a single day so I am concerned that is this a sign of pregnancy or just a normal side effect of ovar l

So the bleeding that I had on 21st November is an actual period
So then this is my actual period and there is no need for any pregnancy test?
Hello Simran By going through your history and evaluation of your health status I must say that Since you’re taking Ovarl L (a combined oral contraceptive pill) as prescribed, and you had a withdrawal bleed after your last pack, the chance of pregnancy is extremely low if you’ve been taking the pills correctly and haven’t missed any doses. The symptoms you described—feeling like vomiting and passing stools multiple times in a day—are much more likely to be side effects of the pill or just a mild stomach upset, rather than signs of pregnancy. Ovarl L can sometimes cause nausea, mild digestive changes, or loose stools, especially when starting a new pack.
Thank you
Hello,
Pregnancy is very unlikely because you completed your pill pack, had a withdrawal bleed, and restarted Ovarl L on time.
Your symptoms (nausea, vomiting feeling, and 4 bowel movements) are common side-effects of Ovarl L or more likely a mild stomach infection, not pregnancy.
Only if you vomit within 3 hours of taking the pill or have severe diarrhea for more than 24 hours can the pill’s effectiveness decrease.
No pregnancy test is needed right now unless you missed pills or your next withdrawal bleed doesn’t come.
Stay hydrated and eat light foods; symptoms should settle soon.
Feel free to reach out again Thank you
