the doctor just prescribed yaz for me because i have small ovarian cysts. also, in the hopes that it would regulate me, reduce cramping and reduce overgrowth of body hair.
but im concerned about taking yaz because i did some research on the internet and alot of people have complained about it.
also, i am finally starting to get fit. im losing weight and starting to gain muscle. i dont want to sabotage that by going on the pill. that is mostly my main concern.
and finally, if i was to go on yaz, what is the least amount of time i should take it? i dont really want to take it to be honest..

I was reading a little about PCOS today and it kind of worried me, since I had some of the symptoms. I also had a sharp pain in my right arm and when I googled it a link about PCOS came up.

My symptom:

-Increased body hair.. I have dark hair so I’ve always had some, but lately it’s been a LOT.

-Ovarian cysts

-Lately my skin has been breaking out like crazy when normally my skin is pretty clear

-Weight gain

-I don’t use birth control and I’ve never been pregnant.. I know it’s silly to think I’m infertile without a proper test but it strikes me as quite odd that I’ve NEVER become pregnant while having unprotected sex

-My body has always been very hourglass. I always had a tiny waist. But the past 2 years I’ve developed more of a belly.

Should I consider seeing a doctor or gyno and discussing it with them?
Thanks in advanced

I’ve had my periods for about 7 years… They’re still not regular.

that might sound like a dumb question but with my first child i dont remember what it was like when i first got pregnant..mainly because i didnt know untill i was two months..anyway..my mom said with her second she had MAJOR cramping. she said it was hard for her to walk..and i had the same thing happen to me this morning. well i had a rather large ovarian cyst when i was about 13 (now 20) that went away with birth control pills but i decided to look up ruptured ovarian cysts and these are the syptoms the website listed…
