What are the symptoms of coming off Yaz??
by nikra28, May 29, 2008 09:29PM
Hello. I was on Yaz for about 5 months and in mid march (2 months ago) i decided to go off of it because of the crazy side effects! i got my first non pill period somewhat on time and now im waiting for my second period but it is almost a week late. i highly doubt im pregnant because i always use condoms with my bf. I am kinda worried anyways though but i just wanted to know if it was normal or not? thank you

I was on DEPO shot for 3 yrs. and had flushing, sore Nips, slightly wierd pieriods. (of course I didn't have a period for about 2 yrs during depo... I got AF the week after missing my shot.) Also headaches... and nausea. Basically it was the same symptoms as when I got on the shot. it makes your body act pregnant (any BC does) and so your hormones regulate again when you get off BC. That's my experience.
EVERYTHING i found was about other forums where 9 out of 10 women were actually having more complications that before getting on yaz! i thought about getting on this, and after reading all of those posts/replies on the other forums, HE** NO!!!!!! i found 1 woman whose been on it since 2006, and has had absolute horrible periods, migraines twice a month, diareah(sp?), among other things, and according to her, she only got on b/c after having her child, and had never had abnormal periods, etc prior to getting pregnant, but after she gave birth they put her on that BC pill, and wow!!!!! it appears that products side effects 100% outweight the benes.....
sorry i couldnt answer your question, but i do hope everything turns out good for you!
