Body gets used to the hormones?
I'm 26. Almost two years ago I went on Yaz to help with my PMDD. I had really bad anxiety and depression during certain points in my cycle, bad cramps, backaches, etc. Once I started on Yaz, it cleared up and I felt great.
In the last few months, I've started getting the symptoms I had before. Anxiety, water retention, cramping. It's not as bad as it was but I'm worried it will get worse. Can your body adjust to the hormone levels? Should I see my doctor about changing the prescription?

I had been on my bcp for two years and started missing periods and bleeding in between, basically they are all over the place. My doc said that on certain pills your body could adjust or it could be that as you get older your natural hormone levels change and you may need a new pilll. I find it a bit odd, but that is what he said so you may just need a new pill. Go talk to your doctor and see what he says because thats probably all it is. I know its a bit of a hassle, but i wouldn't worry bout it too much!

To stay healthy, my doctor said that being on the pill for longer than 2 years in a row is bad for you. I was on the pill for 5 years and had to take fertility drugs to get pregnant. I stopped the pill in Jan and my cycles stopped completely in April. The pill messes with your hormones and it can cause an imbalance in your body. I would talk with your doctor about another pill or birth control method.
