Do you guys experience bloating much on your birth control? I have been bloated with mild cramps for about 5 days now… I’m on Mya BC (Yaz) and have been for 1.5 years. I’ve never missed a pill, and just had my withdrawal bleed last week. My mind immediately goes to pregnancy because of my anxiety, but could this be a side effect?

If you have never missed a pill and you’ve taken it in the window of perfect use, you have nothing to worry about. The hormones in BC cause a ton of physical side effects. Some women that don’t experience bloating like you are might experience other physical side effects that you don’t. It’s a personal experience to everyone but you have no reason to worry
