Changing BC pill...any suggestions?
Hello 
I had previously took Yaz for almost a year and a half and never faced any problems (stopped taking it right after my wedding Oct.2010)... I have been married a little over a year now and I am looking for a new BC pill - I have read and know of a person who was completely healthy and had a stoke while taking Yaz...
In the time I took it I never felt any discomfort or anything (I had a surgery in Dec. 2009 and was checked for blood clots, so I know I was fine).
I have heard of some Generic types of BC like Ocella, but wanted to see what works for some or any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Re: Changing BC pill...any suggestions?
Stroke and blood clots are risks with any BCP, but it's a very tiny risk. That risk is increased if you are over 35 and smoke. If Yaz worked for you, I wouldn't hesitate to go back on it.
That said, I'm on Ocella, which is generic for Yasmin, and have never had any problems with it. I did try Seasonalle for about two months because I loved the idea of only getting my period four times a year, but I ended up having nonstop breakthrough bleeding for three weeks, so I switched back to Yasmin.
thank you all for the help...I am going to give Ocella a try since its basically like Yaz (just a little cheaper)
thanks so much for the feedback
