Birth Control Pill Question

Published

Is it weird that bc pill makes me feel better? They also help me lose weight. I don't know why. I have less/ more tolerable PMS when on birth control pills. I have two kids and since my second child was born I have had horrible PMS, for like two weeeks before my period and then bad cramps for the week of. So I really only have 1 good week.

Is it normal to have a change in your periods after having a child?

I am not a medical professional, so I was wondering if there was a medical reason that bc pill (I take Yaz to be specific) would have this effect on you.

The only thing that I don't like is you are not suppose to be in the sun with the birth control pills or a tanning bed because it makes brown splotches/spots on your skin.

Any advice is appreciated.
