I just finished my first month on Yaz and start the 2nd pack tonight.

First month went ok, I bleed from the 2nd Monday on the pill all the way until 2 Saturdays after that. I went that following Monday (4th week) to the OB/GYN because they had to do a repeat pap on me. She said that happens as we know, and I haven't bleed since then even through my 4 days off. I have had the weird leg strain/cramp feelings, but she didn't seem concerned.

On these 4 days off of it, I have been SOOO freaking hungry. Yesterday, I would eat something that was somewhat filling and then want to eat again, ugh. Hopefully it is just the 4 days off instead of the other 28 days.

my skin is still doing ok. Noticeably less breakouts have continued

Took my second pil of Yaz this morning. Fingers crossed!

Good luck!

[Kaila2]

Good luck!

So far so good Mandy Ann...

It hasn't upset my stomach at all. Low estrin did that alot. The only thing is i've had headaches alot. But i don't think i've been eating as well as i should either. That could have something to do with it....

[Mandy Ann]

Headaches are normal I've heard for the first week or so. I had horrible headaches but they went away and i'm not even sure if it was Yaz related.

I should update right now and say that i've started my 4th month of Yaz yesterday and things are going better than ever.

[Kaila2]

Well i'm glad things are going good for you. Hope i have the same luck.

I hope the headaches don't last..

and PS i think my skin is alrealdy looking a little better. I seem to be glowing today haha

i've been hinting that i have hormonal acne but i'm not sure how to find out... but anyway do i have to ask my doctor for yaz or pay a visit to the gyno and then get a prescription??
by the way mandy ann, is your face clear now?

[Mandy Ann]

You can get it for a doctor, it doesn't have to be a gyno. I just got mine from my doc. And yep, my face is clear now, thanks to both birth control and accutane though (Sadly though, im horribly scarred)

wow, i'm really looking foreward to it! i've also been on accutane on and off (about 4 months, skipping up to 2 months in between course) i'm starting again in aug. but i'm breaking out again so i wanted something to help my pms the breakouts from my period... i also heard it increases cup size (which doesn't hurt)

[Kaila2]

Just thought i'd update...week 2 of Yaz and doing wonderful, My skin looks alot better. But my boobs are killing me! man do they hurt!

hey I didn't know Yaz was good for acne... if yasmin made me break out does anyone know if yaz would do the same?

Umm..i've never tired Yasmin but from what i understand there pretty much the same thing, So if Yasmin gave you problems maybe Yaz might too... But i have to ask How long did you take Yasmin before getting off of it. If you didn't give it 3 months or longer than you might just have been getting and IB. It takes at least 3 months for your body to get use to it.

Hi everyone,

I am a newbie to Yaz (or any other BC for that matter)...and I have questions about this whole first month madness!....

I started this first pack, the day I started my period...I had a pretty regular period but it trailed off into spotting and never for sure stopped!!...Its not just spotting, some days it will be true blood. I know thats gross to say but this is what this site is for right?! :) So...It is now today...and I have spotted every single last day since ending my period...no free day between. Is this normal!?

The help is so appreciated!!!!!!!!

From what I understand, that is pretty normal. I had a lot of breakthrough bleeding my first month as well, sometimes just spotting, other times like a regular period. I got scared and asked my doc about it and she said not to worry unless it continues that way after the third pack is done. After that first pack it has been completely normal, and my skin has never been better. So I'd say ride it out; it should get better! Good luck!

Ah, Thank you so much, I will do my best!
