Jokes on you, everyone on lemmy are males :(. But hopefully that changes eventually! Crosspost questions for females from there to here!

Ask any question and ideally only females answer the question. Males can answer too, but ideally you state that you’re not a female.

I know I'm very late to this, but I thought I'd add a couple more ideas, in case you still need help.

ginger. seriously, it's so effective (for me, at least), and relatively cheap. you can even buy it in capsules.
peppermint oil. I get the worst motion sickness while riding the bus near me. I put just 1-3 drops inside my mask and it helps a lot. you might be able to just take a whiff of the bottle and get some relief, tbh
it doesnt really sound like this is the case, but do you drink coffee or tea on an empty stomach? I used to be able to, but now the tannins always make me sick. :(
I would suggest keeping a record of when it happens/for how long, what you ate/drank that day, what hygeine/skincare/cleaning products you're using, how much sleep you got the night before, if it's worse/better certain parts of your cycle, ect. it might help narrow things down.

I really hope your gyno takes you seriously. it sounds like you may need better doctors.
