I agree with the logic of being careful about timing it around the SWF. I'm on the NuvaRing (Which I TOTALLY RECOMMEND as a HEALTHY alternative to the pill) and I found that when on the MC, the usual nausia I get on the first day is a LOT WORSE than normal. I think this is just b'c of a lack of food in the system. That might be a probelm on the pill, too - things might get a little worse, if you have side effects. Maybe you should switch to taking it at night, so your system has time absorb it before AM.
