For background information: I'm on my second pack of Triphasil and before then, I had one shot of Depo-Provera.
When I started Triphasil, after taking the second pill in the pack, I woke up in the middle of the night with very bad nausea. I went to the bathroom and threw up, but only bile came up. I felt much better afterwards, although I was a bit nauseous for the rest of the day. I attributed the vomitting to a beer I had drank 6 hours before and to the fact that I hadn't eaten much the day before. Since I rarely drink, I figured that it must have upset my liver.
However, after the 3th pill of my second pack, the same thing happened. Only this time, I hadn't had any alcohol and my stomach wasn't empty. But instead of vomitting normally, I vomitted bile. Today, like last time, I feel better but still a bit nauseous.
I know that nausea and vomitting are side-effects of the pill, but can it disturb your liver too, so that you vomit bile?
