Yaz Birth Control Side Effects

Hi L.,

I've been on Yaz for about 2 years now and I've never noticed that kind of problem. I don't have much of a drive but I figured that's because I work full time, am constantly stressed out, chasing a 2 yr old around, and by the end of the day I'm just exhausted. However, when things are going well, there's not been a problem getting the big O. I would definitely call your OB and ask about that. The more you worry about, the harder it will be for you to relax and 'enjoy' yourself... KWIM? Good luck!

Had the same story as you. Got on the pill, loved it, had the one side effect of never "getting there" not even after literally HOURS of attention. Took getting off of it and then then going through a few cycles for my cycle to get back to its natural, unregulated rhythm and then I didn't have such a difficult time in intimate matters anymore.

Hi L.,

I have been on Yaz for years and I have the same problem, but it has gotten better. I also get migraines and feel like Yaz has been the best pill that doesn't make them worse. And that side effect has gotten better with time, we just don't get the frequency we used to.

Hi L.,
I haven't been on the pill for a few years (childbearing ;) BUT I have had similar "side effects" in the past. I've never taken Yaz but I'd assume it holds some of the same effects. Talk to your OBGYN. There may be another seasonal pill that you could try. That's what worked for me - a different brand...problem solved. Good Luck. I know what you're going through can be REALLY unbelievably frustrating. You don't think things like that are that important in a relationship or your life until something like this happens.
