yaz and muscle cramps

Have you had your Potassium and Calcium and Vit. D levels checked? Yaz and Yasmine are not solely estrogen based and may cause elevated Potassium levels. I had low Vit. D levels and had muscle cramping and tingling from the low level. Hope you are feeling better soon.

hey my sister took yaz for 3 months and she had bad side effects, unable to get out of the bed due to having very bad stomach pains that pepto bismo would only ease the pain for a few minutes. she had to get several tests done because of all the pain she was in, she is currently going through a lawsuit with yaz because of what it has done to her.

I too gained a lot of weight.. and had random cramps.. most of my cramps would be in my legs and feet. I would never have a period.. which was confusing for me since I was told by my doctor that It would only shorten my period .. not take it away all together. I also lost all drive to want to have sex.. it was horrible.. I just recently switched back to Yasmin (what I was taking before the Yaz).. I hope the change helps. .. Did you end up changing BC?

I have a very similar experience, I am 28yrs old ,since I started my period when I was 11yrs old it has been an endless nightmare, of severe bleeding, PMDD (severe depression, anxiety, mood swings) and cramps so bad that I would pass out!! So i tried every home remedy and not to mention I was an athlete but nothing worked...

ve seen commercials that say YAZ has been recalled or something because of potential damage and users need to stop.

I just started taking the Yaz two weeks ago. My first week I noticed nausea. I still feel the cramps/pain from my cysts, and bloating. So not sure if that is from the cysts or has anything to do with the pill. My Dr is waiting to see if it helps before deciding what to do next. I had cysts last year and had to have them surgically removed and now they have returned as complex cysts. Here in Colorado they are gathering information too about the class action lawsuit.

It can greatly reduce your heavy periods. I used to have periods seven days long with plenty of clots. It was heavy pretty much all the way through. On top of that, I had horrible nausea, cramps, and lower back pains to the point I couldn't function the first few days and would have to miss school. Since starting the pill, my periods have been 2-3 days and sometimes light, sometimes moderate. Much, much better, and I can go out and function all days of my period.

I took Yaz years ago when it was called Yazmin and I can't remember what it looked like exactly. Are the inactive pills the first or last 7 pills in the packet? They are a different color. The 7 pills of different color are just sugar pills. Either way it is incredibly unlikely that you are pregnant missing one pill at the beginning of the cycle based on when a woman's fertile time is (middle of cycle), however if it was the sugar pill it is completely impossible.

At the end of May (on the 18th), I had surgery on my stomach and stopped taking the Yaz. I had been forgetting to take them all month, and had a very light period right before the surgery. Anyway, come June, I got my period in the middle of the month, like on the 14th, which was weird considering my periods usually come at the end of the month. Then, on the 24th, I lost my virginity. We used a condom and were careful, etc.

I used to take YAZ. It helped with menstrual cramps and made my breasts a cup size bigger! But I stopped taking it because it causes severe blood clots and now my breasts have gotten a lot smaller. Can anyone recommend a great birth control where you've experienced an increase in breast size?

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.

pills) also I started getting cramps and what not and my dr kept saying that should not be happening since you only have a withdrawal bleed...then in 2009 my last lap surgery showed an "adenomatoid" tumor which i was told was extremely rare...but by then I was on Apri already. So can't say if it did anything to the uterus at all if that is what you mean by inflammation in uterus?

i have never been so depressed and emotional in my life! i am 21 years old, always happy and cheerful..and i cant even bring myself to smile anymore. my breakthrough bleeding is horrible and i have no appetite. ive lost almost 10 lbs in about 2 weeks..i plan on calling the doctor tomorrow because tonight was such a bad night as far as side effects go. ive been crying over everything and anything. has anyone else experienced these horrible side effects???

Its a brown discharge like color sometimes with little red blood and very small clots. I have tiny cramps sometimes. Is this normal? Why is this happening? Sometimes its heavy and I need a pad, and sometimes I just need a panty liner. This is really starting to weird me out and it getting annoying. I have read some other posts like mine and I really just need reassurance.. Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help me?

After the 5th day, I started having cramps and passing clots, which I hadnt done in awhile. I called the doc and they told me to take a pregnancy test. If it was positive to go in, if it was negative to triple my pills for the next 3 days, double sat & sun an regular on monday! Im worried and dont understand why or whats happening and Im nervous to take so many pills. It stopped for one day but its starting again. ANY HELP PLEASE!!????

FRUSTRATED. I'm so I'll. And so easily irratated right now! I started yaz a month ago and was pretty consisitant! Now no period... As of now 3 days late- at one day late I tested just to make sure so I could stop BC but now still no period! I've had cramps for over a week now! I'm getting so irratated.

I've been on Yaz for 2 full weeks now. I took my very first pill on the first day of my last period and haven't stopped bleeding yet. I'm having cramps and just wondering when it's going to stop.

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.

t stick to my diet in the first 2 weeks. It would cause stomach cramps, bloating and diarrhea. After the first 2 weeks were over, things went into place and I never had any issues again with it. Birth control can sometimes cause weight gain...but not every woman is the same. I never had weight gain with Yasmin. Sleepiness is not a side affect of metformin. And also, not every woman who has PCOS has diabetes. As far has the birth control, it did lighten my period and made it shorter as well.

i have been on some form of birth control since i was 16 (i think, or 17). i am 20 now. i have been on yaz for the last 2 years. i can't see my gyno, being out of state now, but i will talk to her about this of course before doing it. what should i expect? i went on it initially because i had heavy periods and bad cramps. when i get my period now, it's light with minor cramps. i never had acne or anything, but i think it might have helped clear up my skin a little.

My gynecologist put me on Ventura birth control pills (generic form of Yaz) with the intent to stop my periods because they caused me extremely painful cramps and depression. I've been taking them exactly as directed for the past three months. Every morning between 7am and 7:30am, never skipping a day, and starting a new pack instead of taking the placebo pills. For some reason I had two full-length, excruciatingly painful periods that were only two days apart.

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.

Mine is NEVER light or short and it was this month when I was freaking out over being pregnant. I took a test today and I'm not, so you're probably in the clear.

I have been having abdominal cramps about 3 inches to the left of my navel for 2 months now. I am a 29 year old otherwise healthy female. I've been to my PCP numerous times and haves seen a GI specialist, and nothing. The pain comes and goes. An episode will usually last about 1 - 3 hours. The pain comes in waves sort of like menstrual cramps.

Since I had been taking the Yaz for almost two months straight (I skipped my period by not taking the placebo pills) do you think this changes the possibility of me being unprotected?

I haven't had a period for awhile so the Obgyn put me on Yaz and I took that about 5 days because I was having really bad chest pains so I stopped taking it , I did start a period that lasted 8 days that was back in Dec 07 ! I went and seen my regular Dr that put me on Medroxypr Ac 10 mg to help start well I have taken all that and still no periods I did how ever have some cramps but no period!
