Yaz and side effects and benefits

[kitlucky]

I was told that Yaz is a new birth control pill.  I am used to 7 days of placebo pills rather than only 4.  Is Yaz's concentration any different from the common birth control pills? Is it like saying just taking longer birth control pills?  What are the side effects?  What are the benefits?  Has FDA approved?  Where i can search more about Yaz?  Will it affect my future plan of having a healthy pregnancy?  Also, i was told if i do want to get pregnant, i should wait 6 months after taking the birth control pills.  is that true?

I've been on all of the versions of this pill: yasmin, yaz, ocella, beyaz for about 7 years now, and I didn't have any problems until I started college and had a little bout of anxiety, but that ended quickly. I have been off of the pill now for about a month and I honestly thought I was already pregnant. I haven't had a period, my boobs hurt, I've had nausea and dizziness, and I'm EXTREMELY bloated! Please don't take Yaz...even though I was on it for years with having nothing but good to say about it, the side effects and long term health problems it can cause(I have liver damage, that I attribute to Yaz) are NOT WORTH IT!!!

Hello.
I am 29 yrs old japanese from vancouver island,BC Canada.
I`ve been here in canada for 2 years to work and have a experience.

I`ve had a pulmonary embolism just a month ago.
doctor told me the cause was the birth control pills which is Yaz.

My family doctor recomended this to me.
He gave me a free sample for 3month.so i kept using and buying the yaz.

I was a smoker but on and off.

this summer,I had busy working and a lots of stress made me start to smoke again,everyday for a few month.


Early sep 2011,i felt something on my right side.
and it became so painfull.so i went to emargency.

I had a treatment for a week.
and i am on blood thinner now for 6 month.
I thought my body is easy to get clot till i heard my friend saying"yasmin or yaz causes side effects which is blood clot.

I was mad at my family doctor.
but I should`ve checked about yaz on mywon.

I am sooo depressed.
i could not work for 6 weeks.
i just went back to work last week party time.

it is my fault that i didn`t have enough saving,
but being a broke is not fun.
I am 29 yrs old,I wanna be able to hang out with my friends and eat out,and go shopping and go have a coffee.

I still can,but i feel so embarassed not being able to pick whatever i want,don`t wana hesitate to pick food without checking the prices.....feel like not being myself,hate to have a feeling that im not being a independent woman.
That makes me feel unconfident in myself.

Before i got sick,i had a confident and i thoguht i was a very independent wise woman.



but right now,i am very very very depressed.



I`ve never felt like this down,very low before

I am a very possitive person.

I`ve tried to be positive,but so much things going on in my head.

like.....
"how am i gona pay all this bills? I don`t think i have enough money to pay all this bills and i only have $200 to last me for a month. am i gona be able to live here in canada?all my familes are in japan,i do not have any relatives here.maybe i have to go back home.but i don`t want to.but i m not gona be able to afford myself...i can`t live"

everytime i think about this sickness,and everytime i get a little pain in my chest,i get really scared

like....
"am i gona get another clot? do i have to be in a hospital again and not being able to work to make money?even i got all this bills?"
and i think the same this over and over and i cry every night when im alone.

I worry so much that i do not wanna get another clot and die everyday.



but thinking about all this negative thoughts makes me wana cry all night and die.


I am really depressed which I`ve never been .

I am wirting this because i have no one to talk to about this,even i do,i feel like,
"they don`t know what i`ve been through. :( "

so i decide to post a comment and read all the comments who had sort of same experience to make me feel better.

I don`t know if i sould sue them.

I just want them and everybody to know that there is a girl who is suffering.

if there`s any meetings to meet people suffer from this please let me know.

I really don`t know how to recover from this feeling.
useally i am good at being recover and be ing positive and smily:)


I really needed to talk to someone about this because i can not handle it and didn`t know who to talk to.

Thanks for reading :)
