What Could Cause Frequent Hot Flashes,nausea And Vomiting?

Hi, I m a 26 year old female who stopped taking birth control after 11 years on it with hopes of trying to conceive. I was on the Nuvaring for the last 5 years and prior to that was taking oral contraceptives. I removed the ring on January 9, and had a very regular menstrual cycle occurring from the 9-16th. For the last two evenings upon waking (I work night shifts) and attempting to eat breakfast, I have been overcome with hot flashes and nausea that has made me vomit on the 22nd and 23rd. After vomiting I feel fine, sit back down and finish my breaskfast without problems. Is this a symptom of coming of birth control after extended use or do you feel that is is something else? Thank you for your help

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
There are two possibilities for these symptoms
1. Pregnancy
2. Hormonal changes

1. To begin, the birth control pill works by preventing ovulation.
Once you stop taking the pill, the hormones are out of your body quickly, usually within a couple of days (this is why women who miss a couple days of pills on birth control have a chance of ovulating and getting pregnant!).
It does not matter how long you were on the birth control, your body will still be rid of the hormones within a couple of days.

2. This all symptoms may be due to the hormonal changes and your hormones will balance out within six months after going off the Hormonal Birth control.
Once you go off the Hormonal Birth control, you may experience changes but severity of these symptoms significantly varies from woman to woman. They can last anywhere from a week to a year, or not occur at all.

Thus Consider Urine Pregnancy test, if you miss the period and then take necessary care of pregnancy if the HPT is Positive.
If Urine Pregnancy test is negative, then these changes will go soon. Nothing to worry about this.

Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
