Recommended Posts

it takes me a while to get used to....i love it though. my pms is better, and my Migraines do not get is bad, my skin is clear, etc.

I took yamine for awhile, but it had the opposite affect on me, I was bleeding all the time. I think it is normal for some people on yaz to not have periods, or for them to be really light.

i just found out today that my coworker takes it, and she has been thinking something is wrong with her because she has been several months without a period...i guess it is a good birth control.

I'm no doctor but to me it can't be all that healthy to go months and months without your period?

my doctor says that as long as i am on the pill and not having periods that my hormones are fine, but if i'm not on the pill and not having periods then my hormones are way out of wack.

isnt yaz the one that gives you a certain amount of periods or is that something like seasonal im trying to find a good birth control (never been on it before)

I just saw an ad for yaz on TV. I didn't know about helping with the emotional aspects of pms, that sounds interesting. Wish I didn't have this damn IUD.

Regarding no periods, when i was reading about the different types of BC, I read that drs. have had the ability to give us BC pills that when taken, we do not have periods since like the 60's (if i remember the article correctly)

But because they thought we women would think it odd not to have a period, they made the pills have the cycle that we are all used to with the placebo pills during the days of our period.

I don't think its "unhealthy" to not have a period. I believe all the pill does is basically tell your body that you are already pregnant, so that it doesn't continue to release the egg every month.

I would prefer no periods compared to this IUD, actually. I completely regret getting it.

I don't think it's unhealthy either. When you are on the pill, you don't have an actual "period" anyway. What you have is withdrawel bleeding from being off the pill for a few days.

i'm starting to like it, but i just had a miscarriage and due to not having periods with the yaz, i didn't know i was pregnant at first.

so now i freak out.

yes, the yaz is wonderful for the pmdd. i have horrible pms symptoms starting a full week before my period (or absence of). i still have symptoms but only like every three months. and now i will have symprtoms but no period.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
