Birth control is not always the answer, I feel like it's a broad treatment recommended for anything related to the uterus. I went on it for 2 years as recommended and it was terrible, after I got off and started really paying attention to my body (countless ER and doctor visits, all but forcing my doctors to actually listen to me) I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I had to fight for myself and was able to get a conclusive diagnosis through a biopsy of one of my cysts on one of my ovaries.

I took that too and gained lots of weight immediately and had nonstop periods. The pain was slightly better, my mood was slightly better….. but after almost 6 months of periods I stopped. The doctors kept saying the same to me, but I got off of it. I felt better immediately, started having a normal period, and some of the weight came off.

Hi. I am not aware of Yaz BC, but I was in a similar condition some time ago. The doctor prescribed me contraceptives for endometriosis, and the medicine made me nauseous; I was losing my hair and was in pain, but it didn't help. I stopped the medication and felt so much better. The doctor insists on continuing the drug, but I recommend taking other doctors' opinions and telling them about your experience might help.
