For women who have been taking Yaz birth control, what side effects did you experience and for how long? I'm particularly interested in nausea (how severe/how long did it last), weight gain (if any), and skin (did it clear up blemishes).
For anyone who did experience nausea, did taking Yaz with food/water or at a certain time of day seem to help?
I just started yesterday and am already feeling slightly nauseous, but I don't know if it's the pill, lack of sleep, being on my period, or because I've heard so many warnings about nausea that I've psyched myself out. My stomach is also very gurgly, which isn't mentioned in the literature. This is my first experience with hormonal birth control, so I have nothing to compare it to.
Thanks so much to everyone for their answers!
I havent taken Yaz, but was on Yasmin which is very similar, for a year.
When I first went on it, it made me very nauseous for probably about a month or two. I was also bloated for a bit. I didnt gain any weight though. I cant help you on the skin thing, I havent had any problems with that. I loved Yasmin and only stopped taking it because I was forgetting to take it.
I would ride it out for while if I were you. Give your body some time to get used to the medicine.
