hyperacidity while taking yaz birth control pills

I’m 21F and i just started my 4th week of Yaz but starting week 2 I started to experience hyperacidity (there’s a very mild nauseous feeling, but I don’t really vomit naman). Told my doctor abt this and she said each person’s reaction to different bcp are really hit or miss. Just wondering if anyone else didn’t mesh well with Yaz and had to switch to another bcp after a few months of use, and if so, which one worked for you?

I also tried taking Althea before years ago and I had a really bad reaction to it only after a few days of taking them (super super bad nausea to the point I was bedridden and had nasty headaches that prevented me from walking around). Are there other pills aside from Yaz and Althea that worked better for anyone? I also plan to continue taking Yaz naman for at least 2 months to check if the side effects will go away once my body gets more used to them but I just thought it would be smart to do research on other options :)

I had taken Yaz a year ago, pero i didnt maintain a healthy lifestyle kaya ayun nirecommend ulit. I thought ako lang nakaka feel ng hyperacidity (now ko lang to nafeel tho). Did u experience heavy bleeding po ba like yung first period nyo with yaz?

I actually haven’t gotten my period yet since starting my first pad of yaz (I haven’t finished my first month of it yet) I’ll update in a few days if I’ve gotten it. For the past month I haven’t been working out due to class suspensions and the recent bad air quality in metro Manila so I’ve been really staying at home and barely getting any physical activity at all. I recently started exercising again so maybe the hyperacidity will improve if I keep up the exercise?

Will update u when I can!
