Is YAZ birth control safe for my 16yr old?!


Question: Is YAZ birth control safe for my 16yr old!?
I am considering Yaz for my daughter but as always I hate all the side effects!? Are ther any long term effects !? Is this something a 16yr old should consider!? She isnt sexually active yet but her hormones and cramps are high, also she has some acne and we heard its good for that!. Give me some info if anyone who is taking it likes it or not!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Been on Yaz for 4 months now, haven't had a problem with it at all!. Make sure Yaz is right for her!. The reason I went on Yaz was because of PMDD, and 4 months later, I feel as if a ton of bricks has been lifted off my shoulders after all these years of suffering (depression, anxiety, panic attacks, horrible cramps/nausea associated with PMDD)!. Make sure your daughter is mature enough to take a pill every single day at the same time every day!. Even if she's not using it for BC, the only way for any BC to help control hormones/period issues is if it's taken correctly!. A young person shouldn't have a ton of problems using a BC pill - side effect wise I mean!. A younger persons body can adjust fairly quickly and easily to things!. The body sometimes needs up to 3 months to adjust to a BC pill, but like I said, I had no problems at all when starting it, but everyone is different!. I take my pill at night, which was suggested to me by my doctor, said if I did have any side effects when starting it (upset stomach ect) that I would sleep through it and not notice it!.

I would just be sure she is mature enough to do this and also talk to her doctor (and I do NOT suggest her getting the HPV vaccine if suggested by her dr - it's dangerous and we don't know anything about it or why it's being pushed on little girls to have it - the only way you get HPV is by multiple sex partners with MEN who are infected- why aren't they treating the men!?)!. I haven't been relieved fully of cramps and you will still get a pretty "normal" but lighter period!. She's a woman - and being a woman means having this lovely visitor come each month until she hits menopause!. :-D

If it wasn't for my PMDD and using it for BC, I would not take a pill!. I don't know, that's just me!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not sure about the long-term side effects because I had to get off of Yaz after a couple months!. I was on it because I had/have almost constant bleeding between periods and severe pelvic pain!. The Yaz not only made my bleeding and pain worse, it gave me migraines, constant nausea, dizziness, and made my acne worse!. I eventually had to get off of Yaz because of all the side effects!. And I am used to being on birth control pills, so it's not because I am new to BC pills!. I have been on 4 other BC pills and haven't had side effects with any of those!. I have heard a lot of people who love Yaz and don't have side effects, but I didn't have any luck with it!. It just depends on how your body adjusts to the hormones!. One of the BC pills I liked with low hormones was Loestrin 24!. Your daughter should ask her doctor which pill is best for her!. Good luck! I hope this helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yaz is a great birth control but has allot of ups and downs to it for a 16 year old!. First you want to make sure your daughter can take a pill ever day! If she can the i would reccomend a a 4th year medical student Loestrine 24!. If she cant i would have her try either nuva ring which is a once a month or paraguard which is the 10 year non hormonal IUD!.

Some bad choices would be:
Seasonal
Mirena
Yasmin

Yeah sure i was on the pill at 14 and i am 18 now and am fine just make sure she goes for regular check ups to make sure on weight and blood presure!. I actually like it it reduces my period pain and mine used to be real heavy mine is now regular and less heavy and yes it helps with acne!
Good luck xWww@Answer-Health@Com

It is safe but has she had her HPV vaccine, that is the most important thing at her age!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
