My consultant changed me from the combined pill onto desogestrel to try and slow the growth of my endo/cyst. I've been taking it for 8 days and I maybe have been having a bit less pain (touch wood) but I've started getting terrible nausea, particularly in the mornings. I've never been pregnant but I'm guessing it's almost like morning sickness?! Also feels a bit like travel sickness (which I do get, a lot). Has anybody else had this and did it pass? I want to persevere with this pill for a bit, but I'd be grateful for any tips on how to manage the nausea.

The nausea has now pretty much passed, but I've moved onto other side effects...
My forehead is really greasy and I've started getting big spots on my chin (which I have never really had before!). I also have sore boobs, and VERY sore (and bigger?) nipples. My sex drive is nonexistent, and I think my mood seems depressed. I have also been getting incredibly bloated, like a huge hard inflated tummy (especially after eating) which is really sore.
Does anyone have any tips for dealing with these side effects? Or experience about whether/when they will pass? I don't know how much longer to persevere for, I've been taking it for nearly 3 weeks. I start a new job next week so I don't want to be mega bloated or in loads of pain
