I've been worried about this, but not sure what to do about it. I'm 43 and am taking Yaz birth control. I can't imagine not taking Yaz because it helps me so much with my perimenopausal symptoms. However, I sit a lot. Like all day at my desk.
I attended a women's mental health symposium a year ago at the University of Arizona in Tucson and there were top doctors (gynecologists, psychiatrists, etc.) there who were touting the use of birth control pills by perimenopausal women for the very reasons that I'm taking Yaz. They all said that it's perfectly safe to take all the way till menopause, so for me that's another 10 or so years I imagine.
Anyone else perimenopausal and on a birth control pill?
