You are taking way too much birth control pills at once, which is not good for your body at all. By taking that many pills at once, it is considered overdosing.

i wouldn't think so birth control pills r just for extra protection when u have sex and u have less periods per year. Birth control pills will more than likely make things worse. Birth control pills don't just simply "fix chemical imbalances" they give you more types of hormones to "see" if your one of the ones that benefit from them. It's a gamble because of this. You should go consult with your OB about other "non hormonal" alternatives.
Can Yaz or other birth control pills contribute to IBS symptoms or make them worse?
The hormones in birth control pills could quite possibly effect IBS symptoms. However, hormones normally produced by the body upset the GI tract as well. Many women with IBS suffer from more severe symptoms right before or during their period. Some people taking oral contraceptives get relief from these pms/IBS outbreaks. That being said, progesterone supposedly exacerbates constipation, so if you are suffering from chronic constipation, this would definitely make your symptoms worse. Avoid pills with this hormone if necessary. Also, lactose is sometimes used as a filler in some birth control pills. Many IBS patients are dairy sensitive, so this would also make symptoms worse. The most important thing is to talk to your OB/GYN and make them aware that you suffer from IBS before they prescribe you anything. Hopefully, you will be able to find a birth control pill that will not interfere with your IBS. Unfortunately, there are many other variables that may be worsening your IBS symptoms that we are not yet aware of. I've had to change birth control pills 3 times now and still have not found one that does not interfere with my IBS.
Does birth control cause bad cramps?
No - oral contraceptive pills usually decrease menstrual pain. The cramps we get during our periods are usually due to the uterus contracting in order to get rid of the endometrium (which is the bleeding we get). Oral contraceptive pills reduce these contractions and should therefore reduce the pain. If your cramps are getting worse, there may be some other reason for this and you should make an appointment with your doctor.

If that's not the case for you, contact your health care provider, who may be able to change brands based on your complaint.
