YAZ side effects/ Met

[cairee30]

Hi Everyone!

I started YAZ 3 weeks ago and for about a week now have spotting and some cramping. My mood doesn't seem all that different from being on it and I am wondering if I should switch to another. I started taking it due to facial hair and to make sure I don't get pregnant but it sucks bleeding all the time!


I am also wondering if the Met can be doing any of this? I was on 1000mg and then tried to go up to 1500mg but felt SO sick. I have been having a tough time eating as it is or eating the right way. I seem to do either really good or really bad with the low carb thing. It is a process I guess...

I have taken Yaz and Met but not together. With Met, I had no spotting. Fast forward a few years, and I started spotting, and dr tried another BCP, then another, then Yaz. The spotting went away after a few months on it though. So I don't know if the spotting was something my body was going through (18 months and 3 different BCP) or if Yaz cleared it up eventually.

I don't know how long you stick with a good diet, but what may help with getting used to low/good carb diets is to just stick with it for at least a week, maybe two. This breaks your body away from the carb cravings, and reminds your body how to properly digest food. Processed foods don't require your digestive system to do much. After a few weeks, I couldn't stand processed food and thought my body was revolting.

Hope this helps!
