Yaz and side effects...
| Thu, 11-02-2006 - 7:03am |
First of all, hello everyone! I'm new to this board, and I hope someone can help me out... I started taking Yaz on Monday the 23rd of October (10 days ago). My doc never told me to use a condom when first starting it (my friend just told me this) and my bf and I had unprotected sex 2 1/2 days after starting the pill. What I'm experiencing now may just be side effects of Yaz and having these hormones in my system, but I wanted to run in by you guys. Here goes...breast tenderness, extreme crankiness (almost uncontrollable impulses to rip people's heads off for no good reason, lol), low pelvic craming, very gassy :( , and my face is breaking out (which is not normal for me).
I think that's it. So, my main fear is that my continuing to use Yaz if I am pregnant. I read that it can cause birth defects if used during pregnancy. If I am pregnant, it's not the best time, but I can handle it...but I don't want to cause problems for a potential child. Any advice??
Thanks so much!
