I think the answer: is in your question: you state the side effects are severe. While not common, the side effects you list are, largely, ones reported occasionally with Yaz. There is no way to predict if they will improve after 3 months. Since they are bothering you "severely," I would urge you to discuss alternative treatments for endometriosis with your treating Gynecologist. Good wishes:)
