Not sure if my weight gain came from YAZ or not, Cuz I've been craving just the worst foods and eating them! I've gained it all in my middle region and I can't seem to shake it.
I also stopped taking the YAZ, because I noticed another correlation since I began taking YAZ - I was so swollen most days, I thought I would have to have my ring cut off! I could hardly even spin it on my finger. Not to mention it is expensive! we pay out of pocket.
After my 2nd son, I did the SHot; had anxiety with that one, so stopped taking it.
Tried it again after my 3rd son, only did it once... because I started having the same feelings that I had after my 2nd.
So currently we're wingin' it; which quite frankly with 3 boys, 8,5,and 2 is kinda stressful too. But we're not quite ready to make anything permanant nor do we plan to have any more kids, (although in the back of my head I keep wondering if the next one would be a daughter...)
Good luck with your BC, I haven't found one that works for me now that I'm older.
