Hello,
I have almost finished the first week of my second month on Yaz and I am a bit concerned:
No migraines, no mood swings, no acne (yay!), no hair loss....But, I am having mad bowel problems- vascillating between constipation and diarrhea- and a rather uncomfortable burning pain in my pelvis that is focused mostly on the right side. I have always had problems with my bowels before but it has never been so pronounced. Also, I got my period twelve days ago- it was light to moderate for about five-six days, and now it is spotting brown with a thick consistency (if this makes sense) for the past 6 days. 12 days of bleeding does not seem normal to me. Even as breakthrough bleeding which is usually more red.... Also, my breasts have become enormous and quite tender, and I am rather bloated.
I have had pcos since I was 14 years old...Suffered from hirsuitism (excess facial/body hair), and now horrid pms/pmdd. I have lost over 80 lbs in the past two and a half years (another reason Yaz/bcps concern me- I don't want to gain it back.) But my testosterone levels have not gotten any better..I wonder if losing weight calmed down my cysts but did not correct the testosterone? Ack..Suggestions ladies? I'm a bit of a worrier..I do not want ovarian cancer, and I'm really paranoid about losing my hair!! Help!

Thank you!
