I was on Yaz. No strange side effects for me, but I noticed that my periods were just as long as before I took it and that they were just as painful. I didn't particularly have a bad experience with Yaz, but I've definitely been on better BC. What kind of side effects are you experiencing? FM me if you want!

Every bcp has different hormones and you may react differently to each of them. I'm not sure what kind of strange side effects you're having, or if you want to post it here, but it usually takes at least 3 months for your body to adapt to bcps. If you're still having strange effects, I'd give your gyno a call. She can ease your concerns if it's normal or prescribe a different pill.

It took me at least 3 or 4 different pills to find one that worked for me. And now I've been on it for over a couple of years without any major problems. But once in a while you might have a month where something just feels 'off.'

Not sure if this is helpful, but I hope so! Just try not to worry.

I have been on it for a little over a year and my only complaint is that I get really really bad headaches during that time of the month and also sometimes my teeth feel weird like they are falling out (i know thats weird but my doc said its a side effect).. I stayed on it though cause its one of the better ones I have tried.

I take ortho-tricyline lo which has the lowest amount of hormones out of all birth control pills. I plan on going off of it pretty soon though probably like right after we get married. I've been taking it for a long time and they same the the pill (in some girls) can interfere with you getting pregnant. So FH and I want to wait until a year after we are married to start trying so I want to be off of it for a complete year as well. There are so many side effects from any medication whether it be over the counter or prescriptions and I feel like if it's causing physical side effects who knows what could be going on that we do know about from any pill we take. So I don't want any of it my body before getting pregnant if that makes any sense.

Did you tell your doctor what was going on after he put you on a hormone harmonizer?

I was on Yaz and loved it... then all of a sudden I was getting the hives all day, everyday, so my doctor switched me over to Yazmin. within 2 days of being on the pill I had stroke symptoms and they sent me to the hospital.

What kind of syptoms are you having?

I'd see your doctor. I also had chest pains and something was off with my balance/focusing, etc. I was getting dizzy often and I was having a hard time getting my words out. It's not worth waiting out, I'd call your doctor immediately.

Ive tried so many others though and i have different reactions on them all. The doctor said without being on the pill theres a rare chance of having kids so I am so afraid now...

this is my third doctor

I'm on Yaz right now and I dont' have many complaints. Everyone's bodies react differently to each one, and this really helped my cramps... I'm sure whatever is going on has a reason that can be solved :)

feel better and let me know how you make out. Don't let them tell you that what you feel is 'nothing'. If you don't feel right, switch pills. I wish I would have listened to my body sooner.

I was great on Yaz for 3 months and then it just ended up not being for me..Definitely switch your BC.
Give your doctors office a 2nd call.

Good luck!
