Hello! I am currently taking Yaz pills. The instruction states that if you are less than 24 hours late when taking the pill, contraceptive effect is not reduced. Why do some sources on the internet state that contraceptive effect is reduced after being 12 hours late. Are my pill instructions telling me the wrong information? I have read them multiple times. They state exactly: if you are less than 24 hours late when taking a tablet, the protection against pregnancy is not reduced. What do I trus

Whether you are trying to clear up your skin , regularise your period s or ease disruptive and painful PMS, keep in mind that hormonal birth control pills which you are taking are only masking the symptoms and are not solving the problem.
Your body is actually trying to tell you something! And these pills are not free of side effects.
The synthetic estrogen in birth control pills can cause short term side effects like GI upset, mood swings, irregular bleeding or spotting.
And even scarier than the “mild” side effects are the serious health risks that accompany birth control pills. These include:
Increased risk of cervical and breast cancers
Increased risk of heart attack and stroke
Migraines
Higher blood pressure
Gallbladder disease
Infertility
Benign liver tumors
Decreased bone density
Yeast overgrowth and infection
Increased risk of blood clotting
Cancer, heart disease, stroke, infertility.
Surely these side effects make birth control pills a less than desirable option for contraception, and even less desirable for masking acne, period problems and pcod.
Good news is that all your problems can be totally reversed , not by masking the symptoms with pills but by addressing the underlying cause of the problem and healing it from the ROOT cause.
Hope it helps.....
