I was just wondering how long it took you to ...Hi,<br /><br />I was just wondering how long it took you to be able to get back into life? 2 years, 3 years? I read that it took you 5 years to fully heal from the damage Yaz caused and I know it is different for everyone. But I was curious about the in-between. <br /><br />In March 2018 I will have been Yaz free for two years and I am, while feeling much, much better everyday, I still can't go about my business like a healthy person. It is definitely a lot better and I am healing every day but I was wondering what your timeline was like. My family understandably get frustrated by the slow pace of the healing. They aren't mean or anything, they just want what is best for me and to see me succeed. I suppose the hardest thing about it, about all of this, is that it is relatively unknown and I have so questions, but also understand that it is a day by day thing. <br /><br />The last month and a half has been hard as it has felt like I have been thrown backward as it has been very unpleasant like the first couple months after I stopped taking Yaz. I read on your blog post that this is a type of "relapse" which in itself is a good sign that my body is heading into another layer of healing, at least that is what I have been telling myself. I don't spend my day laying around the house, I have my routine and exercise to give me purpose but it is like, this question mark hovering over my head. <br /><br />I have been curious when I'll be well enough to build my life back up as it feels like it has been a loooooonnnnggg timmmeee. so I thought I would ask what your timeline was like and whether I am on track or lagging behind on the healing front. <br /><br />Thank you for reading this and your possible reply.<br /><br />Hope I haven't asked a too personal question!!

I gained 10 kg in just 2 weeks and it kept adding on as I went on living. <br /><br />I believe there are a few different things that contribute to this. Hormone imbalance and toxicity. <br /><br />When we stop the pill the body will start to evacuate what is no longer needed which in this case includes A LOT Of toxins and chemicals that are in these pills. The body will then increase the water and fat in essence protect the body so that it can be released. The fat is literally protecting you from the toxins affecting your organs. And the water is protecting your cells. <br /><br />It looks like you are eating very well and there are a few ideas that are popping into my head that you might want to try (but I am by no means an expert, so take it for what it is worth). <br /><br />1, Actually lower your exercise intensity. Give your body at least 2 days of rest in a week, more if needed. Or at least change the type of activity to low intensity, stretching, walking etc for those days. Rest gives the body a chance to evacuate toxins because it is not in a place of needing to rebuild or repair the body. <br />2, Soak in epsom salt baths at least once a week - this will help in detoxification and possible water retention. <br />3, Try something that will help pull out the toxins, such as Activated Charcoal or Chlorella.<br />4, Bring your mind peace. Allow yourself to love and appreciate your body as you go through this process. Instead of hating the body try to show love and that your body is doing what it was designed to do - to protect you from toxins. And then give it time. <br />5, Know that you are not alone and none of this is your fault. I promise you will get your body back! <br /><br />HUGS Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064269495506376014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051044030554551663.post-24382130394772054742017-10-05T15:17:40.550-04:002017-10-05T15:17:40.550-04:00Hi, I am so happy you found us!

At this point I would much rather get my tubes tied then ever. ever try any sort of contraception again. I am around 50% better than I was 19, even 12 months ago but I am still recovering, even though it feels snail pace at times. <br /><br />I have been wondering about weight gain, in the first couple of months I put on near 20kg in about 2 months. Thankfully, it stopped there which may have to do with the fact that I completely changed my diet, removing all sugars except for a teaspoon of sugar in teas, I am already coelaic so I eat gluten free, I have cut nearly all processed foods out and eat a good amount of greens, nuts and fruits, red meat and chicken. I drink a ton of water and have lemon water in the mornings (half a lemon in warm water) and exercise for an hour and a half daily no matter how horrible I feel. I have had my thyroid checked as well. I haven't managed to budge even a kilo off the 20kg which upsets me. I find it difficult to feel so awful on the inside and also feel so self-conscious, heavy and uncomfortable on the outside. I have been googling everywhere to try and find if other's have found this and how or when they lost the weight but can't find anything. Is it just time and one day it will finally start coming off or am I going to stuck like this forever?

This blog has been a life saver for me, especially when I found it nearly two years ago. I felt inspired that Helena shared her experience with us and really felt like she was writing my own memoir when I found it. I thought I was going crazy as my body was so, so out of control and I wasn't sure how much longer I would last. I have been writing my own experience up over the last nineteen, nearly twenty months since stopping yaz. If interested my blog is: https://survivingtheaftermathofyazcontraception.wordpress.com/<br /><br />I wanted to share my experience as I feel like if I can help others not feel alone or crazy, then maybe something good can come from my misery.

It got better but I started to suffer from ovarian cysts. My gynae put me on Yaz for 3-6 months. This happened often in the four years I had the mirena. I had ovarian cysts burst twice and was very sick because of that. After the last episode of a burst cyst, I decided to have the mirena removed. That was beginning of Dec 2016. My dr recommended that I should stay on the Yaz. I did but January 2017 I thought I was going crazy. I cried all the time, I had horrible anxiety. I stopped the Yaz end of January. And then on the 13th of Feb I was man down. Sick as anything. I had an upset stomach and couldnt get out of bed. Then the nausea started. I couldnt eat anything but apples and thin soup. This went on for 3 weeks. I started to think there is something seriously wrong with me. I also got a painfull feeling somewhere to my rectum/anus. I tried all tipes of suppositeries and ointments. I slowly felt a bit better for 2 weeks and then I was sick again. I had horrible back pain. <br /><br />Before I had the mirena taken out, I had pain in my lower back to the left. Also thin stools. After I had the mirena taken out this continued for a while. I went to my dr and he immediately did bloodtest, a rectal check and stool tests. Bloodtests was normal, no blood in stool but definate inflammation in the colon. I am on strong antibiotics for a month. These meds seem to make the nausea worse. I had my period and three days after I stopped, I felt severely depressed and anxious. Also the nausea after I have eaten is horrible. I have a week left of taking the antibiotics. <br /><br />I cry all the time because it feels like I am never going to be myself ever again Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314782428121131034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051044030554551663.post-39166468147995745722017-01-26T12:01:04.315-05:002017-01-26T12:01:04.315-05:00Hi Kellie,

I wish I wasn't, that none of us have ever been, in this position. To add to every thought that the person said, I have had night sweats and bruising that meant invasive tests for leukaemia and the terror of waiting to have results. Regular fainting and hurting myself, the complete loss of feeling in limbs, while walking leading to my collapse. Chest pains that lead me to a cardiologist. Weight loss that caused my family to stage an anorexia intervention. The embarrassment of losing my hair in places and having to hide it. Chronic low self esteem that has put me in therapy. Anxiety attacks while performing the most mundane of tasks. Calf pains that wake me screaming in the night. This is a living hell. Only now does it make sense. Thank God for that. I am not mad, I am not ill. I am suffering. But I can take back control.

I'm sorry you are feeling this... but y...Dear, <br />I'm sorry you are feeling this... but yes this is "normal" craziness we have to endure... the hair thing is explained in the sense that on the pill or in your case the nuvaring - they all put us in a post ovulation state for as long as we are taking it. Since you have been pregnant you have also experience the hair growth that comes while pregnant. That also later falls out once the body starts to produce estrogen again. This is exactly what happens when we stop taking the pill. The pill makes our bodies believe it's pregnant basically so it won't release more eggs, so when we stop taking it it's back to business as usual and all that hair that should have been going through a regular hair cycle (you know.. we loose about 100 strains a day or something like that) we now loose all at once. <br /><br />I lost pretty much half my hair and would say I haven't gotten it all back but it's not like hay anymore. It finally has a shine to it again. <br /><br />:( for hearing about you not eating. That's terrible. Why haven't you? What is preventing you from eating do you think? <br /><br />The depression I had too. The panic too... I wasn't that much OCD but it's all part of it. It makes you finally realize how much these pills really mess up our brains. <br /><br />I don't have answers that will heal it right away but there are ways. Trust that you are on the right path. Breathe. Pray. Tell yourself that you love yourself daily despite all of this. Find something that grounds you; for me it's stones and crystals, essential oils, nature... <br /><br />I can talk offline if you want.. simply send me a message by the contact me form on the page. <br />Sending you hugs. <br />Helena Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064269495506376014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051044030554551663.post-27995376611601379582017-01-11T17:49:52.799-05:002017-01-11T17:49:52.799-05:00Please tell me if what I am experiencing is normal...Please tell me if what I am experiencing is normal.

You just stopped something harmful and your body has now gotten the green-light to remove it. It may fill your body/cells with fluid to try to protect you that way... Drink plenty of water and add a pinch of sea salt in the mix too, to help it drain properly. You may want to do a detox too... it sounds like it would help you. There are plenty available out there. Even hot water with lemon, sitting in the sauna, etc, can help. <br /><br />The underlying cause is obviously the pill and what has been in it. It can be the synthetic hormones, the chemicals or fillers... hard to tell right off the bat. But the swollen body parts is a sign of fluid retention and that is a sign that the body is trying to protect you from something harmful. You just need to give it help to remove it. <br /><br />Pay attention to if you are swollen in other places as well. <br />Sending you lots of healing.

What symptoms are you experience, how are you feeling, etc... And then put that in perspective. <br /><br />Your acne may or may not come back - you simply have to decide to love yourself and your process no matter what happens. Your acne can be dealt with without the pill, that we already know. Ask yourself if it is worth it. <br /><br />Getting off the pill and risk getting acne? <br />Staying on the pill to prevent having acne? <br /><br />I don't know what is more important to you... Obviously I will always vote for the natural way. To me it is not worth taking a dangerous pill for acne. Acne is not worth it to me. <br /><br />I had some issues with acne too when I got off. My body was for sure purging all the nastiness out and some of it came out as acne. It is natural to have acne when your body is trying to detox - our skin is like our third kidney. <br /><br />Eating healthy helps. Even if you go out you can eat healthy. And if you don't eat healthy - don't beat yourself up. The stress and self-loathing will not help your healing process. Just take care of you to the best of your ability. <br /><br />HugsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064269495506376014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051044030554551663.post-4449349418104286182016-10-05T23:08:15.118-04:002016-10-05T23:08:15.118-04:00I have a fear of going off the pill because the re...I have a fear of going off the pill because the reason I went on it in the first place was because of my acne on my chest, back and face.

I am sorry you are going through this....Hi Heather. I am sorry you are going through this... If you should or shouldn't take anti-depressant is up to you, just know that the rumor is that they are highly addictive. I would suggest you look into trying something more natural, maybe: Siberian Ginseng or St Johns Wart. They are pretty good. You can also try EFT. It is a powerful tool to use for panic and anxiety. I made a video about it: http://yenprimesoul.blogspot.com/p/what-is-eft.html<br /><br />The dizziness is also linked to the detox... try to drink water and stay hydrated, even try the waters with electrolytes or pure coconut water. <br /><br />I truly hope you are on the road to recovery. <br />XOAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064269495506376014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051044030554551663.post-73744163796378894152016-04-13T23:50:11.623-04:002016-04-13T23:50:11.623-04:00Hello..I just found this blog and can relate most ...Hello..I just found this blog and can relate most to your post.
