If you are on Yaz birth control, or have been on Yaz before, please respond!?

Question

I am coming to the end of my first pill pack of Yaz. This whole month I have had the following symptoms: I bled the whole month (not just spotting, but light to medium bleeding); Severe exhaustion, taking naps for 3-4 hours in the middle of the day (from constant bleeding maybe?); wanting to injure myself, but not in a suicidal way, just to see if it would hurt. I have NEVER wanted to do that. It's making me feel crazy. I have NO s*x drive - it's gone from 3-4 times a week to 0 for the whole month. My husband says if I'm not sleeping, I'm angry.

So I called my doctor, and they suggested that I take 3 months worth, because that is how long it will take for my hormones to straighten out.

So my question is...will my hormones straighten out? Has anyone had these symptoms, but they went away within the first 3 months? I was taking them SOLELY to shorten my periods, which are normally 11 days long. Any advice?

Answer 1

wow, this is a bit difficult. I was on the yaz and I felt the low s*x drive and the exhaustion.. but nothing severe like wanting to cut myself or the constant bleeding... I was told the same thing, keep taking it... your body just has to get use to the pills (rather the new hormone levels) but if you don't feel good taking it tell your doctor you would like to try something else. I went off it for awhile and after some research and long thinking I decided to go with the Mirena IUD...  I guess you have to realize that all birth control methods have hormones, and those hormones are what make you feel the mood swings (kinda like when you are p.m.s.ing) I took yaz to be able to be intimate with my husband and not worry about getting prego too soon after our first child, but all yaz did was eliminate out s*x life - and that was not what I was looking for either. And I did make me moody also... My advise would be to go off it and find another method that will work better for you- maybe something with lower hormone levels. :) hoped this helped!

The first thing you need to do is figure out why your s*x drive is low and try to help get it back.  I was in your situation and it's not fun without being horny and feeling in the mood when needed.  I also felt like my orgasms (if I would even get one) were really weak.  Probably because of my s*x drive.

However, I tried exercising and dieting but nothing seemed to be working.  I thought I was screwed.  I then found something just as amazing as the vibrator.

My friend at work told me about this stuff she took to raise her s*x drive.  It was a natural herbal supplement and was I lucky to of found it.  Theres no side effects and the s*x drive is just tremendous along with orgasms that are blasting.  The stuff is called Hersolution pills.  At the time I saved money on them at herenhancement.com

What I did was tried out for 3 months and that was really it.  I found taking them every other day or so was the best to stretch it out. After the months were up, I was back to normal with a beating s*x drive and my o****m strength in increased so much.  

Well good luck and I hope this helps.
