Hormonal Contraception: The Pill [General Discussion]
in Women's Health ·
Hey ladies,
I wanted to scroll through the whole page, but honestly, that feels like way too much work. I was hoping someone here has tried Yaz and could share their experience. I’m only on my fourth pill—this is my first time ever using birth control, mostly just to deal with heavy and really painful periods. Lately, I’ve been feeling short of breath, like it's hard to catch my breath. It usually happens at night, and it started with the very first pill. I figured it was just a coincidence because I had a super stressful, exhausting day, but now I'm not so sure. I actually missed today's dose (my doctor told me if I miss one, just take it when I remember, and since I'm not active right now, it's not a huge deal), and I noticed breathing felt a little easier and I felt better. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of thing with any specific brands? These have actually helped with my cycle—it was two days shorter and less painful—but I'm getting a bit worried. I can't see my OB-GYN until Friday, and I’d rather not go down a Google rabbit hole of scary symptoms if I don't have to. If anyone’s had something similar, let me know. Thanks for the help.
