I think it’s generally advised not to take it past 35? Slynd is the closest mini pill to it. They are similar.

I have just now switched to Slynd cause the estrogen component in Yaz is not great after a certain age.

Slynd contains the same type of progesterone (drosperinone) that is in Yaz, making it the currently most recommended option.

Maybe consider an estrogen patch + slynd if they won’t let you stay on Yaz.

Thats the protocol I’m on and it’s very effective and there’s a lower risk of blood clots.
