YAZ BELLY!! anyone else got it? I have been on this pill for 9 ...

I too have experienced the YAZ belly. I have been working out and have actually lost inches on my thighs and arms, but my belly seems to appear to be getting bloated like. I really didn't connect the belly appearance with taking YAZ until I read your post. I have discontinued taking YAZ as of today and will let you know if I see a change in belly appearance in a month. Take Care.

I have the same exact side effects as you ( especially with the round pregnant shaped belly) i hate this.

Yes!! I have been on Yaz for only a few months now (5 mnths)....as of this month fit into only one pair of my jeans. I have been so upset by this becaus I have never....NEVER had an issue with weight gain in my life. This is also my first time on any pill so I did not know what to expect. I suffer from crazy cramps so my OBGYN recommended yaz to help my symptoms. I thought the weight gain might be the winter slump or that I am approaching 40 but truly in the back of my mind I am thinking its gotta be this pill. thanks for sharing your experience... I am going to think about changing pills and talking to my OBGYN as well. -Kathy

Nope your not the only one...GOT IT!! I use to have a flat belly, not anymore!! I have had the same exact ovary pain, going to GI doc in 2 wks!! This is crazy!! I am going off tonight! Good luck!!

How long has it taken to get rid of the belly fat from Yaz? I am exercising and dieting like crazy for an upcoming vacation, and my stomach is round and bloated....it has never looked like this before. I have only been on Yaz for about 4 months, and the round belly looks worse all of the time. I also notice an increase in cellulite for some reason.

I have been wondering the same thing! Not to sound "braggey" but i have pictures of me holding my 6 month old baby in a bikini with a flat stomach. Now (2 years later)I look 5 months pregnant! WTF! I work out diligently. I'm dropping YAZ tomorrow and heading to the gym.

I too have the YAZ midsection. (chest area widened, flabby belly and thicker upper thighs) I took YAZ from NOV 08 to May 09. My last three months on Yaz is when I had my most significant amount of weight gain. Ugh. I stopped it and even gained more weight while coming off the hormones. The gym helps, but not that much. I workout at least 4 days a week. It's taking me FOREVER to slim back down.

Ive been on yaz for about 6 months now and my stomach looks really round, like im pregnant. I keep getting my period and ive taken around 4 pregnancy test and they all keep coming up negative. Im just afraid that im pregnant because it looks like I am, im freaking out

Thank God!! I was ready to do a pregnancy test from being on YAZ. And I have my tubes tied. I have had to by new clothes and everything. I to work out about 3-5 times a week and eat really healthy and the weight just seems to keep piling on and only in the belly. I tried to switch to loestrin but it did not effect my moods the way Yaz did. It made me feel human. So I thought I would go back on it again because really noticed the difference. But now it feels as though I am gaining even more weight. How long does it take to lose the weight?

my daughter haas been on Yasmin for over a year and has the sam e belly issue, she is as little as a minute, but her belly, like a women in her 9th month. It hasbeen very debiliating and needless to say frustrating for a 19 years old . she is on ysmin for endometriosis. What have learned in the past 6 weeks froma GI Doc is that she she has a bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. She put her on an antibiotice, and that brought her belly back to cormal for the first time in 4YEARS! She is going to swotch from Yasmin to ortho novum 135 this week, know anything about that one?

This happened to me too! I've worn the same size for the past 10 years. I started taking Yaz almost 4 months ago and my weight gain is scary - 15 pounds and I haven't made any other changes in diet/exercise. Most of the gain is in my midsection. I can't fit into my clothes and I'm really depressed. I guess I need to get off this stuff.
