I posted for my 14 year old daughter a couple of weeks ago. I am happy to say that we stayed off of the YAZ after going to the hospital 2 times, sonograms, cat scans.... worried about spleen rupture ~ pains in the side, back, shoulder, throwing up THE WHOLE SHABANG! pretty much every side effect there is listed for this horrible drug she had. Well...turns out she had mono/epstein barr a couple of months ago so it kicked it up again after it was getting better. DOCTORS PA's....push push push meds. We need to be more informed about what we take into our bodies. MEN WOMEN CHILDREN just because they prescribe it doesn't mean we should take it. we are the guinnea pigs here. Yes there will probably be a law suit and it will like the patch be taken off of the market. But where will we be?? So my thought on this drug is that doctors need to be taking blood tests of a variety of things before saying ~ yes it is ok for you to take this. Because there are some (I say SOME) people who aren't as sick as others... some people drink booze so their liver will be elevated some people have dormet problems that will cause this pill to reek havoc on your system... everyone needs to get a grip on taking meds.... it is whats causing havoc on our bodies. we take all these pills. its crazy.

I ahve a couple questions for you. First of all, I am so sorry to hear about your daughter! I am also young, 22 years old, and since coming off of the yaz I have had the same symptoms that i had while on the yaz for the last two months or so. Like your daughter, every symptom possible I have experienced; and also like you daughter I had mono several months ago. My question for you, is she feeling better? Is she still having heart problems, nausea, pains, etc? The only reason i ask is that my symptoms are getting in the way of my new job, and i would really like to know how long to expect all of this to go on! A word of encouragement, a friend of mine was on yaz a year ago, took it for a month, and had the whole shebang as well. She said that it took about three months for it to get out of her system, so if your daughter is not feeling back to her old self yet, there is hope! Please let me know how long to expect all of this if you ahve any idea! thank you!
