Oh yes, I went there. I talked about birth control pills. There were really two things that these little pills did to my body. Of course, take it with a grain of salt because every person’s body and every woman’s body is different.
Hey everyone it’s amy welcome back to my channel uh in today’s video i actually wanted to talk about how taking birth control affected my body and basically how my body reacted to birth control pills so the birth control pills i’m talking about today are yas i believe they’re called i’m pretty sure they’re called yeah so this is the pack it is the scientific name
Is dross purin i’m not even gonna try anymore because i feel like i’m butchering it i feel kind of sad because there’s like a whole this is like a whole new pack i believe oh no it’s not i stopped taking this i guess um and i’m gonna tell you shortly why because i was having a lot of problems um just emotional hormonal problems um just from taking um this and
I’m pretty sure this is a yaz product oh it is see it’s a yes product so these are jazz uh pills um and i basically stopped taking this back in i would say literally stop taking in the summer of 2019 um because i started i felt like um i started having like hormonal and um stress and anxiety that i felt like were associated and the result of taking these pills
So i basically stopped i basically told my doctor that i felt like the hormones for these were too strong and then i think he said that if i want to try different pills he would prescribe them for me and i think he did but i don’t know where that prescription went in this little pack it comes with a booklet and it comes with these yas pills that are basically
Um you eat them or you take them not eat them you take them for like believe it’s like 30 days like one two three four five six seven one two three four sorry i was incorrect so 7 28 so there’s 28 pills in here plus these reminder pills at the end let me just show you like what a fresh new packet actually looks like so this is the new pack that i haven’t opened
Yet and there’s another pack in here so i feel really like i feel like it’s such a waste because i haven’t like use them these are the yas pills so there’s like 28 in total there’s these pink ones there’s three rows of them and there’s more pink ones and then there’s like a bunch of these like one two three four four um reminder pills that they won’t do anything
They’re just reminder pills if you haven’t taken birth control pills before and you’re thinking about it you basically start with seven days first and then you can have the unprotected sex so basically it goes like this and then you consume the first seven tablets and then it’s one per day you take them at the same time every day i used to consume one at night
Between eight to ten o’clock so just before i went to bed or a little bit before i went to bed so i took these guys for um almost a year so i took this beginning in september of 2018 sometime in the spring summer of uh 2019 i started having like symptoms or not symptoms i just felt very like very easily triggered by things i’m not sure what it was i’m not sure
If it was because there were some things going on at work in the office that um kind of induced it but i felt like a little bit more sensitive when i was taking these pills and the only physical side effect that really affected my body was the fact that i lost my period completely there wasn’t any spotting there wasn’t any like little bit of period or blood
Or whatever you want to call it i literally basically had no period anymore and that was a plus for me because periods suck and i get cramps and it just makes me exhausted and tired so that was a great benefit of eating the pill and going on the pill i think the not so great side effect about going on the pill was the fact that um i felt like i was extremely
Sensitive and hormonal i don’t know what it was i don’t know if it was completely the pill or if there was something just going on at work that was affecting me but i just felt like a little bit more sensitive according to the booklet of symptoms that i was reading that comes with the yaz package i’m trying to find the effects i know i’ve seen it somewhere oh i
Found them it says the risks of using yaz circulatory circulatory or disorders sharp pain the chest which may increase okay so be alert for the following symptoms and signs of serious adverse effects call your doctor immediately if they occur sharp pain the chest which may increase with deep breathing coughing blood sudden shortness of breath or rapid breathing
Sense of anxiety which is something that i felt like i had and i felt like was growing beginning like um springtime and i felt like the longer the prolonged more prolonged use i was um on being on the pills i felt like it just became worse and like i said i don’t know if it has something to do with the environment that i was in that it was very like it kind of
Heightened my sense of anxiety or if it was due to the pills or if it was a mixture i really don’t know um but i just felt like in those particular circumstances where anxiety came into effect i’ve never felt that way before and i’ve never felt like i would care if i was in those situations and i wasn’t on the pill i don’t think i would have reacted the way i
Did in those at the time in the circums in the circumstances that i was in i think if i had taken the birth control away i might not have reacted that way but i don’t know if i were to go back to birth control pills again i don’t think i would go back to yaz i would definitely consult my doctor and i think he did prescribe me a different type of birth control
Pill that was less hormonal and had less effects on my hormones all i gotta say is that if this is something that you are interested in um that you’ve never used before that you’re interested in exploring and using as an option um i definitely would go for the birth control pills i might not definitely recommend um yes just because of the hormones that i felt
But each person’s body and each woman’s body is different so definitely consult your doctor the only good thing that came out of this was that i had no period which was great um and i felt like maybe there was a little bit of anxiety that was introduced into my mental health so yeah i wanted to share that with you guys and i hope that you found this video useful
