I've been on birth control for 7+ years straight. In 2010 my dermatologist put me on YAZ birth control to help with awful acne issues. YAZ contains progestin drospirenone (3.0 mg) and a low dose of the estrogen ethinyl estradiol (0.020 mg). YAZ was then changed to the "knock off brand" MYA which is the same hormones (same sh*t different label). YAZ and MYA are considered a strong dose birth control, more so than you'd see in other brands of birth control.
My concern with this pill is that i do not get a period. It started with just lighter periods and eventually turned in to no period at all. I went over two years with not even spotting. I've brought this up to my doctor several times in which he says "if you're not concerned you'll get pregnant without knowing, then i'm not concerned". I asked him if this would affect my fertility when we start ttc in 2019 and he said "it might, it might not. We won't know till you stop taking it and stop trying". He also said "you're messing with mother nature"
Everyone i've talked to about this have voiced their concerns that i'm messing up my body and chances to get pregnant and it's un-healthy to not have a period. I was told "you probably can't even have babies now".
I personally don't know anyone who has had this happen irl. Anyone else experience this while taking birth control?
