I went off Yaz and started to notice weight gain after a few months, in about 2 years I gained a little over 40 lbs. I am absolutely miserable. I've tried dieting, exercising, and nothing has happened. I don't fit into any clothes, I hate my body and I have no idea what else to do. I had my hormone levels tested and my testosterone is a little high (45pg/ml).
I also have the exact same symptoms. I feel so bloated all the time and since being on Yaz for over 3 years now, I'm weighing more than I ever weighed in my life. I started taking Yaz right after I had my daughter and I just can't seem to lose the weight. I've tried taking other brands but did not like it. I'm actually thinking about resorting to the ring.
Also, despite eating and exercising the same as pre-Yaz, I have gained 8 pounds (during the first month) and cannot lose it even with decreasing my calories and exercising more. I also normally only gain weight in my butt but now have back fat and love handles. I normally do not gain weight in my stomach and it is so bloated, I look pregnant even with sucking it in. I truly feel the most disgusting ever! I hope that the 8 pounds comes off easily after stopping the Yaz.
OH My God!!! I am so disgusted with the way I feel and Look!!
birth control does make you gain weight. i hear it's as much as 5- 15 lbs!
A couple of weeks ago I decided to go off the pill (Yaz) because I was wondering if it was making me feel sick (I've been taking the pill for over a year now). I was just wondering a) if anybody else has felt sick on Yaz; b) if going off it helped; and c) how long it took for the pill to get out of your system? Thanks for any help. (I'm 18).
Here is a little something I pulled up while researching yaz problems
Yaz and Yasmin are different from other birth control pills available in the United States because they contain drospirenone, a progestin which can increase blood potassium levels and increase the risk of:
* Heart Attack
* Stroke
* Blood Clots: Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
* Gallbladder Problems
* Kidney Damage or Kidney Disease
* Cardiac Arrhythmias
* Sudden Death

I have been on yaz for 3 months now. I am tired all the time. I can't sleep at night but can't get out of the bed in the morning. I have been have cramps all over my body. My legs,side,face, and every where in my muscles. I went to the Dr for blood work. They said my thyroid is not working right so they did more blood work. I am tired of hurting all the time. My OBGY said its not yaz. But I am worried. I am 40 and I'm not use to feeling like this.
i had the same problems with Yaz. I was on yasmin and when asking for more from my doctor she accidenty wrote yas...not yasmine so i tried it for a few months. it was horrible. I become very depressed and moody, gained weight, had bad acne, and become very paranoid. I switched to levora which i've been on ever since ( 3yrs). My symptoms all went away once i stopped taking Yaz. I'm not sure if it would take 4 months of your hormones to regulate...
Well I took Yaz for 3 months and at the end my fiancee kindly asked me to switch, because I was so depressed and crying over everything. My body hurt so much also, headaches, stomach, then I started asking my girlfriends about it - all of them that tried it, got off it very quickly.
But it might effect you differently..
Question for anyone out there using the birth control pill Yaz. Has ya'lls period stopped completely? Need to know if that is normal.
Does Metformin help you lose weight if the Doctor also put you on Birth Control?
To make a long story short, I diet and workout like crazy and not just for a week, but for almost 2 years fully conscious of what goes in and out of my body. Cant lose weight AT ALL. After two long years of no results, i set forth to get my thyroid tested, comes back that i have PCOS. Doctor put me on Metformin and Yaz. Skipped my period last month so she wants me to take it to start.
For the past two months, a week after my period, I have been getting brown spotting. The night before the spotting occurs I get headaches and feel sick. I take my birth control (YAZ) as directed and I have been on it for about a year and a half. The spooting only last about a day or two, but I have never had it do this before. Is this normal? I have heard a lot of bad stuff about Yaz also, should I change birth control?
Has anyone used yaz to treat endometriosis? has any one got pregnant after using it? and also has inflmmation in the uterus?
t have gone off the Lexapro to begin with, but I went off of it originally to lose the weight I had gained over 5 years and I also wanted to see if I could handle it. Also, I was dating someone and felt pretty secure with things. I did well for about a year and half off the Lexapro. Once the relationship ended, however, my anxiety kicked right back up to high gear. I am attending weekly therapy for my security issues, but still trying to figure out the medications.
A year a ago I was on a pill and I thought that my anxiety and weight was an issue so I changed to the Yaz combined pill. My anxiety and weight haven't changed. I have never had trouble with weight until this past 2 years and although I am watching what I eat and exercise 3 times a week nothings is working. I also get extremely lethargic the week before my period and this has been since my last child 10 years ago. Is there any pill out there that will help?
5-12) and T3 uptake 17 (23-35). Incidentally she has been on Yaz for 4 years for excess androgens. Recently, her cholesterol(280) and triglycerides(244) have gone thru he roof. She doesn'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?
Google mirena side effects and make a decision on whether or not you want to keep it but do it quick before you gain more weight that will be hard to lose! Also they cant find my strings anymore so I will have to have a special procedure to remove it! If you decide you want it out, don't let them tell you mirena is not the cause because it is.
I have dedicated a website for women who are currently or previously taken Yaz Birth Control. This is a support group for women to see the pro's and con's of taking this prescription. Please take a moment to view YazForum ******* and post a comment of your experience while taking Yaz. Thank you.
I have been taking YAZ for about nine months and have recently decided to go off birth control all together. I stopped taking the pills about three weeks ago and I have been bleeding on and off ever since. I'm wondering if this is normal and will go away or if I should start taking the pills again, or maybe switch to a different birth control. I'm also concerned because I don't want to start a new birth control routine and gain more weight. What should I do!? Please help!
I have found a lot of information linking gallbladder disease with the BC pill Yaz. I myself have been going through some major health issues since about 2 months after I started taking the pill. Although the pill has cleared my acne and evened out my hormone levels, I've been to several doctors because of a pain in my right side. I've also had my appendix removed because of a misdiagnosis. Now my doctors are convinced that I have to have my gallbladder removed.
m wondering if you have thyroid history in the family if yaz can cause the thyroid to act up or if yaz itself can cause it.....i know that there were some unknown stuff about yaz even after it was put on the market. i just feel its very strange that i switched to a different bc pill and all of a sudden my thyroid acts up. Although my mother has hypothyroidism so even if it was from yaz it would be hard to prove. i was on nordette for 14 years with no probs.
I am sooo sorry to hear that you lost a fallopian tube! I haven't heard of that happening--would you tell me more? At least so I know what could happen? Seasonale is a birth control pill--like YAZ, where you don't get a period, it's just continuous estrogen & progesterone. I get severe migraines, and cramps, they think this could eliminate both. Plus, it lets the reproductive system "rest" by not producing eggs--which is a problem for me anyway, with PCOS.
