Going off the Pill Experience | YAZ : Physical & Emotional Symptoms / Helpful resources / FAQs

In this video I discuss, in detail, my experience going off the pill. I was on Yaz for 6 years and have been off for over 3 years now. I went on Yaz as a contraceptive at the age of 21. Now, 29, I reflect back on my contraceptive pill journey and share information I wish I had had earlier. This video starts with some relevant background information and why I went off the pill. What was the final straw that led to me taking the plunge with little to no preparation? In between I detail a few things I wish I had done and things I did do that were helpful along the way, and towards the end of the video I complete these lists. I share all the physical things I experienced that I can think of - including swollen boobs, bloating, acne, period pains and my general PMS. I then move on to the emotional things I experienced that came as a big surprise. I also share some things I did that that I think were helpful, including yoga, general health things, stress management and more. Finally I share some helpful resources (that helped me a lot), some concluding remarks and then a final physical / emotional thing I forgot to share at the beginning of the video.
