Hi. Sorry it took me more than a day to respond. I had a health emergency yesterday with my husband so I was unable to get on my computer.
First I would like to say I am a prospective marriage and family therapist and am not qualified at all to give intense medical advice.
That being said, I do not like to be asked for advice and literally say "sorry, can't help" so I did a little research for you.
I checked out information on YAZ at drugs.com and found the following:
"
Continue using the medication and talk with your doctor if you have any of these less serious side effects:
mild nausea, vomiting, bloating, stomach cramps;
breast pain, tenderness, or swelling;
freckles or darkening of facial skin, increased hair growth, or loss of scalp hair;
changes in weight or appetite, swelling of your hands or feet;
problems with contact lenses;
vaginal itching or discharge;
>>>>>changes in your menstrual periods<<<<<<; or
headache, nervousness, dizziness."
I even took it one step further and contacted my OWN OB/Gyn this morning to ask about your situation. They told me what I expected to hear which is, given you are a teenager (i assume or at least early 20's) they HIGHLY recommend you contact the provider who prescribed the medication. One reason for this is you could have something in your history that is extremely relavent like; a previous pregnancy, smoking, issues with your ovaries or other female organs, etc. Also, in order for your provider to treat you to their best ability, they need to continue to be updated on your medical conditions.
I wish I could give you the direct answer as to whether or not this is okay but the only answer I feel comfortable giving you is: Your doctor NEEDS to know about this. It may be nothing but in order to keep you at your healthiest, they MUST be informed.
It is all about you, you know. Your health is #1.
