I have read some really bad things about Yaz from women who are currently on it. When I went to the Yaz web site it of couse glorified the drug. I am torn! What should I do? Advice ladies? I would love to hear from anyone that is on it or has taken it!My Dr. wants me to go on the birth control Yaz. Ladies, any advice? Side effects? Heard bad things about it!?
I went on it to manage my peri-menopausal symptoms, and it's been about 85% fantastic. My major gripe is that my sex drive has dropped a bit, but even that's not a huge drawback.
The plus side is that my periods are 2 days of spotting versus 10 days of debilitating bleeding (even on another pill!), zero cramps, no mood swings, no cravings, no crankiness. And I LOST 10 lbs! Overall, its pretty good.
But like I warn with any contraceptive, what works for one person may not be good for another. The ONLY way you will know for sure is to try it.
The blessing of the pill is the fact that after a few months if you don't like it, you can always change.
Personally though, I think you're going to like it just fine.My Dr. wants me to go on the birth control Yaz. Ladies, any advice? Side effects? Heard bad things about it!?
Here's my take on Yaz. it hasn't been out very long. Look what happened with the Patch- it wasn't out very long and it killed women.
I know pills are normally safe but you can never be sure unless it's been out long enough to show all results possible.
I say trust your instinct. Do not take anything that you're not 100% sure of.
I was on ortho tri cyclen 28 and am currently on Alesse and I've found that between the 21 pills of 1 hormone then 8 placebo pills (alesse, diana, etc) are better than the pills like tri cyclen that are a different level of hormones each week.
That is really all I can say from personal experience though sorry.
but personally I would not take Yaz just yet because it hasn't been out long enough.

I have a cyst on left ovaree, the Dr. said to remove it & the ovaree too, but I like to have kids...Advice?
My CA125 test was 51(3 months ago) and now is 77...That's why the Dr. says to have surgery... I m trying to avoid it, as I still like to have kids, (I m late 30s)... What's the best advice? See more doctors?I have a cyst on left ovaree, the Dr. said to remove it %26amp; the ovaree too, but I like to have kids...Advice?
I also had a cyst on my left ovary and was adviced by the doctor to remove the cyst and the ovary. The cyst was the size of a large grapefruit and my fallopian tube was twisted due to the cyst. I'm also in my late 30's and no kids yet. I got a second opinion and had the surgery done this June to remove the cyst. This doctor knew that I didn't want my ovary removed and she was able to save the ovary. So my advice is... see more doctors and get a second opinion because each doctor has a different approach to help you. Best of luck to you.I have a cyst on left ovaree, the Dr. said to remove it %26amp; the ovaree too, but I like to have kids...Advice?
I am definitley not a doctor but, I think there are a couple of things you can think about. First off you can still have kids with only one ovary. But if you are in your 30s you might want to start soon, adn the other thing is that you should ask another doctor. Don't let one doctor's opinion control the outcome especially if you don't like what he has to say. Even doing some research online about it could be helpful...but go to good websites like www.webmd.com or something for that type of information. But I do know that you can still have children with one ovary so if you do have to have surgery don't lose hope.
i'm pretty sure you can still have kids with one ovary???
You can still have kids with one ovary. My mom had two of us with only half an ovary left. And with the advances in fertility treatments, they can help you if you find you're having difficulty conceiving.
you would still have your right ovary, i think that would be enough.cosmetics

Have you heard of Dr Asa Andrews? Is he Legit? Seems to have good advice.?
I saw his book in the book store a long time ago and spent some time perusing it and there was plenty of truth to it and plenty that i questioned. Nothing jumped out that i definitely would never do except eating the foods i knew i was allergic to that he suggested eating. He definitely is on the right path and offers better advice than most medical doctors out there! Check his book out if you can. i think i remember him having really great tips in a list format at the end of the book.
Help! picked up fungus @ beach. dr gave me Naftin (30g)-1%. cleared up, now coming back w/vengence. Advice?
i keep using the cream and my feet clear, then a week after i stop, it comes back and seems to be getting worse and spreading. can ANYONE help me?Help! picked up fungus @ beach. dr gave me Naftin (30g)-1%. cleared up, now coming back w/vengence. Advice?
Yes! Go back to the doctor IMMEDIATELY if you haven't already. Spreading is a bad thing. Doesn't mean it's dangerous, just that they may need to give you more aggressive treatment or combination treatment for it.

Dr's in the st.louis area for fistulas? Any advice?
My father in law has had multiple surgerys on his fistulas to the point to where another operation could make him lose complete control of his bowels. But they keep coming back and now it's gotten to the point to where he's okay for 2 days out of the week to being confined on his stomache on his bed for the remaining of the week. So all in all, all his dr's have to say is ';take pain management classes'; or ';take these pain killers'; No one seems to want to get to the bottom of this literally, and take care of it. Is there any way what so ever that would help these fistulas disappear. My fiance had surgery 2 mos ago to remove one of his, and it actually hasn't come back. It's been sore, but hasn't returned, and they aren't biological father and son. (really weird eh?) So anyway, if anyone could shed some light on this I'd really appreciate it. He's missing out on his grand daughters' lives and it's killing me. Especially since my 3 yr old is a PAPPA'S girl through and through. thanks!!!!Dr's in the st.louis area for fistulas? Any advice?
Wow I thought only women could get fistulas. Go to www.mayoclinic.org . I typed ';fistulas'; in the site's search and a list of items came up so maybe you can go from there. I know it's not near St. Louis but the main campus is in Rochester,Minnesota and they are supposed to be the world renowned for dealing with difficult medical cases. Good luck and I hope he gets better. : )

Concern for my sister in law. I know that there are no dr鈥檚 on here just give advice please. Thanks.?
My sister 鈥搃n law took like 5 pregnancy tests all were positive. She went to Hospital to be for sure and they gave a blood test, which came out positive, ultra sound but they could not see anything, and HCG test which was 3500, and also her cervix was slightly opened. At first they said she was 4 week, then came back and said she was about to have a miscarriage. Today she had appointment with gyn. Her HCG went from 3500 to 8233 in 2 days (But they did not check her cervix). She has had no pain a few small blood clots, and little to no blood on pad. (Barley any). Is it possible she is still pregnant and First doc. Diagnosis her wrong? If she was miscarrying how come HCG like almost tripled, would it decrease if miscarriage was present instead of increasing? And why could they not see anything on ultra sound.Concern for my sister in law. I know that there are no dr鈥檚 on here just give advice please. Thanks.?
At 4 weeks it's not surprising that they couldn't see anything. Even doing an ultrasound at 6 weeks, it would be difficult to find the embryo.
What does the blood look like? Was it brown or light pink? Or was it bright red like period blood? If it was brown or light pink, it may just be some spotting which can be normal during pregnancy. However, if it was bright red, it is likely that she may miscarry.
You're right, it doesn't make sense that her HCG levels have gone up. I think she should get another opinion.Concern for my sister in law. I know that there are no dr鈥檚 on here just give advice please. Thanks.?
UPDATE- she went to doctor today and had ultrasound-she is pregnant and she is 6 weeks pregnant.
Hm. Maybe the Dr's thought she was being threatened by a miscarriage if her hormones are doubling I think that is a very good sign. Just have her watch for more bleeding and any cramping.
I wish you all the best of luck!
wow, they are really high. maybe she's having more than one baby.
