I will try to make this a long story short because I am still seeing a doctor about this but I just wanted some input from women who HAVE TAKEN YAZ Birth Control.

I have been taking yaz for 8 or so months. I started developing chest pains and was sent to the emergency room. Since I am 20 years old, most doctors are unconcerned but still ran tests. I found out I had to have my gallbladder out and I did just a week ago. I’m also experiencing numbness and tingling in my arms..mostly my left side. My cardiologist seems unconcerned because my ekg and echo is normal.

Anyway, I know these symptoms are all linked to Yaz. I have read so many stories and symptoms other women have experienced and I can relate to them. My doctors don’t seem to think its related but I am a seeking second opinion and just seeing my primary care doctor next week for my joint pains and tingling.

My question finally is, for those who have STOPPED taking yaz, when did your side effects/symptoms stop?

I am 20 years old, fit, and had no health problems prior to taking yaz. Tomorrow will be one month since I’ve been off it and I’m still feeling side effects of it.

Thoughts?
