yaz and hair loss

It has made me lose my period too and extreme hair loss. Quit Yaz Now...it's dangerous!!!

I have been on ortho-tricyclen lo for over 4 years now and I think its fantastic. I also take spironolactone which helps out with the hair growth/loss. I switched to Yaz for 2 months and I was MISERABLE. I would personally recommend switching.

I also switched birth control brands at this time so had blood tests done to see what was going on but they said all came back fine and it was probably stress. I started on Rogaine and after about 6 months, the hair loss stopped and all seemed fine though I did have chest pains, went to a cardiologist, had a CAT scan and he said it was just stress. Wow. Then, my husband and I moved to France. Again, hair loss. I started back on the Rogaine and just waited it out.

From anxiety to gaining weight, I actually experienced hair loss, white spots on my skin and countless other issues. I personally would not recommend Yaz to anyone, but it all depends on your body. I hope it works out for you though, good luck.

I went to the doc and was treated for Anxiety/Depression with Zoloft and recently have been put on YAZ. I have very bad night sweats (wake up damp), no hot flashes, hair loss, dry skin, anxiety which gets worse before period, dry hair, itchy skin, temp has been running at 97, headaches were bad until I started taking YAZ, allergies which I have never had, etc. Anyone thinking this sounds like peri-menopause? I am 38, my mom says hers started at 35.

I was fine for 3 yers and just recently started loosing hair again. My ferritin is at 30(little low) so I started taking Iron again and it seamed the hair loss slowed down a little since. In a mid time my GP run a bunch of tests which showed very high ANA's 1:640 and referred me to Rheumatologist for further eval.( All other test like Liver Functions, Urea, Rheumatoid factors, blood counts, white ,red cells and platelets are normal) I have to wait till March to see him.

I have been on Yaz for over a year and haven't had a period and hope to not have another one! :) It is very healthy not to have a period due to contraceptives such as these. I was on the Depo shot for 16 years and never had a period during that entire time! I had to stop that because it was causing a little bone-loss, however, with many calcium supplements that is now back to normal. I am a super healthy 35 year old. I have a child.

so after i had my son which he is now 6 months old i have been on the mirena for 3 month and i havent had a problem exept im noticing being hungry often....? yaz would have ok if i didint have hair loss and got prego and its funny bc i met someother female who had got prego off the yaz also... bu **** a good skin and weightloss pill!

Thanke you for the respond. I went off the BCP few years ago and ended up loosing 80% of my hair. Was told that i had to be on some birth control to regulate my hormones. I maby loose 10-20 hairs a day now, but it just does not grow. Is it possible that YAZ is causing my T3 to look high in range, but i have too little T3 ? Because i think it´s strange that my TSH is at the higher end of the range.

t drink or smoke, is not over weight and rarely drinks a soda. She has been complaining of being dizzy and has lost a ton of hair. My mother has hashimotos hypothyroid. Does this sound thyroid related? I'm thinking these tests were useless due to the Yaz and that she needed the free levels checked but does the TSH look high? We have stopped the Yaz and will retest in a month or two. Thanks.

I was on Junel 1/20 for a couple of years, then went on Yaz for a month last April (I was living in Germany and the doctor ok'd it, even with my questions about health concerns). After going off Yaz, I have never had my period again and hadn't had it before that since February. I (stupidly) did not really think it was an issue until right around Christmas when my mother said I should get it checked out.

I never considered mirena, or, any iud for that matter, could cause weight gain because it does not go into the blood stream. Before this i was using Yaz and was steadily loosing weight on a good eating and exercise plan. I just went today, day 11 and had it removed. Does anyone know how long it will take to loose this weight? I can't believe the amount of weight i have gained in 10 days!! Any suggestions would be great!

feet)low body temp,low blood pressure,muscle/joint aches,dry eyes,eye pain with bright lights,memory loss,brain fog,ADD,dry skin,hair loss,etc- I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, adrenal fatigue &"subclinical hypothyroid" Rx:sleeping pills(for insomnia),small amount of Adderall(in order to function) and a SNRI(for pain and depression) All my thyroid tests(TSH,T4,T3)always came back normal so I never took any thyroid medicine.

t get any noticeable bald spots or anything it got so much thicker (my hairdresser says it looks like I lost a third of my hair). I felt just like you, depressed and scared and wondering if and when it would every stop. My thyroid tests were normal, and the dermatologist said my hair thinning was probably due to my going off the pill for a while, then going back on it, using Yaz, and then switching from Yaz back to my old pill, Trisprintec, after only 2 months.

I agree. And Yaz (recalled and undergoing a class-action suit in the US.) caused myself & my daughter to experience severe clotting, blood-loss, resultant anemia, & creation of serious plumbing problems in an old building that had been purchased via donations & grants for use as a community arts centre. Suffice it to say, I pray that they Never realise it was mostly due to That, and not faulty pipes - I couldn't ever afford to repay the damage and repairs that were undertaken...

I know while I am there to get my results he is going to try to get me to take YAZ, which he suggested when I got my PAP exam (I researched YAZ and found some horror stories!!) or some sort of IUD...I don't know how to feel about that either. Should I listen to my instincts and avoid birth control? It seems to me it's just a band-aid and not a real solution to a problem. If I do have PCOS, are there other alternatives besides taking birth control? Please give me some guidance. Thanks.

Hey guys! It's Danielle and I stopped taking Yaz about two months ago, and I feel fantastic. The weight is going away slowly but surely, and my periods, although slightly irregular, have been better. I'm a bit more moody than before, Yaz always made me feel PMS when I shouldn't have though. Getting off the Yaz was the best thing I could have done!

Please take a moment to view YazForum ******* and post a comment of your experience while taking Yaz. Thank you.

I AM NOW SEEING ALOT OF LAWSUITS BEING ADVERTISED FOR YAZ....SIDEEFFECTS BEING BLOOD CLOTS, PULMONARY ISSUES AND SO ON ....HAS ANYONE HAD ISSUES WITH YAZ AND WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT....WHAT CAN I ALSO DO FOR THE MOODS...ANY SUGGESTIONS...

Also to add as a note while on Yaz I also noticed a significant increase in hair loss, along with insane cramps that increased and became more intense with each passing month. It's said that Yaz helps with monthly mood swings, but I'd rather be an insane crazy lady with clear skin a few days each month than an agreeable nice lady hiding in my house because my skin makes me look like a monster!

Hi, YAZ birth control pill causes cholelithiasis. According to studies done, YAZ birth control pill increases the risk of gallbladder disease only marginally. But if you are symptomatic, like if you have pain in the upper right quadrant or if you develop nausea or jaundice, discuss your symptoms with your consulting doctor he may change the dose or the medications. Regards.

I was on yaz for 5 months and i had massive hair loss and, no appite, and i got pregnant with my son on the 3rd month on them got a period and following month no period and i found out i was 10 weeks and i was taking the pills correctly!

Which birth control pill would you reccommend that has less likely hood of causing reduced libido? I tried the Yaz pill and had to go off it after 6 days because I had no desire what so ever for having sex as well as other problems with it. Please help this is a big part of our relationship. Not the major one but a very big part and I can't stand the loss of thiis feeling.

Previously I had constant break-though bleeding (more like a period- for even 2 and a half weeks) and cramps. I switched to Microgestin and that made me so sick I stopped, and then restarted Lo Loestrin Fe. I have taken it everyday and have never missed a pill. The only thing that I have done probably incorrectly with pill use is only a couple of times I took it maybe an hour and a half/two hours late. I’ve spotted quite often- not as badly as before.
