Anyone on Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella?

So I have been reading the articles about the lawsuits, and freaking myself out, so I asked about it at my physical earlier this month. I wasn't given a helpful answer at all, so I figured I'd ask my OBGYN in Jan... well, my cholesterol apparently has jumped WAY up (just got results).

so I've been doing some research, and it seems that these pills can cause that. WTF. I specifically asked about risks of this stuff, then when I have this bizarre jump in cholesterol, rather than thinking it may be related, they send me info on diet. I eat a really healthy diet as it is - all of their suggestions, I already do.

Anyone else experience this? I think I'm done with this pill.

  • I didn't experience any issues but did switch this month. I know there are risks with all bc pills but this had too many with younger woman.

  • Yeah, I just don't know what to do next. Mirena didn't work, my old stand by pill didn't work, so I tried this... ugh!

  • I was on Ocella and had sooooo many problems!  Get off it right now IMO!!!!  My symptoms went away after I stopped taking it except for the weight loss.  I have never had weight issues in my life but I put on 10lbs with it and am having a hard time gettign it off.
