YAZ : Oral Contraceptive

i started takinf yaz last week and i feel like im pregnant! just very emotional. and im not emotional. im hoping things will get better but i dont know. i feel like ive gained alittle wait also. but it could just be emotions. my face isnt oily but its not clear. i have pimples everywhere and there dry. its GROSS. im hoping things get better. i really need birth control.

I stopped taking it after 3 relationships failed in 5 months because of my crazy mood swings. I also couldn't afford the fifty bucks a month. I was so tired of crying everyday and not even knowing why.

I really needed BC because my period never came... I would go 6 months without a period and that's not normal! This "not getting my flow" thing screwed with my skin to NO END. My face looked horrible, I started using YAZ in November, and My face was clear by the end of December I'd say... That made me really happy! My periods were painfull however, and still pretty long. I stopped YAZ after 6 months in April, and my flow stayed the same till July when I missed it again, and now it's the end of August and my skin is terrible again!! I should have stayed on YAZ, but the weight gain was also bugging me... I'm going to try Yasmin next month hopefully if I even get my period!!

MY skin was breaking out a little bit which was why I decided to go on YAZ. The first 2 motnhs have been pretty rough, several small pimples all over and a few really big deep ones that I never ever had before. Also a lot of white heads. I am going to give it 3-4 months and then i'm going to switch back to ortho.

I never really had bad acne, just a few spots here and there, until I took Plan B for the second time. My face immediately erupted in cystic acne and I was embarrassed to go anywhere. I tried Murad skin supplements for a while, but those had no effect so I went to my doctor and she immediately prescribed Yaz and Differin. I haven't really been using the Differin regularly, so I'm assuming my acne has started to clear up because of the Yaz. My cystic acne cleared up after a little more than a month on the pill, and now my skin is getting clearer all the time, except during my period, when I break out pretty badly. My breasts went from a small B cup to a full B, but they're pretty tender all the time. The only period I've had on Yaz so far lasted a whole seven days instead of four (there are only four placebo pills) and my cramps were horrible, but comparable to cramps when I'm not on the pill. Yaz has been a miracle for me, and I expect my skin will only get better with time.

Day 1. No side effects. Day 2. Gag at the sound of my boyfriend brushing his teeth. Day 3. Was awake at midnight for no reason. Not in the '˜mood'. Day 4. I have to pee every hour. I feel dehydrated and am drinking a ton of water. Up again around midnight. Still not in the '˜mood'. Day 5. The smell of food causes me to gag. I'm throwing up all this water I'm drinking so I'm getting dehydrated, but I still have to pee every hour. Still not in the mood. Day 6. Up all night throwing up and feeling awful. My boyfriend didn't even ask for it. Day 7. ***** I QUIT TAKING THIS BYAZ! ****** Going to bathroom every hour to pee and denied boyfriend sex again that night. Day 8. Still feeling rough, but not throwing up and I slept the entire night. No sex. Day 9. Gagged at the smell of cooked cabbage *but honestly, who doesn't* Slept all night. Day 10. Feeling like an entire new woman! Jumped on my boyfriend when he came home that night. Slept the entire night!

give it a try, but it could be the wrong hormone structure for you.

I used this for 2 months and could not take the joint pain anymore. It was unbearable, to the point where I felt I could not walk. Additionally, it made me feel like my blood was not flowing, which I know sounds strange but I have low blood pressure and this pill made it feel like my blood was circulating even less. This led to the aforementioned joint pain. After approximately 3 days of using this pill, I developed severe comedonal acne all over my face, which persisted throughout the course of my Yaz regimen. After the two months, when I quit using the pill, the comedonal acne went away within a week. During my usage of Yaz, I also had a horrifying, terrifying emotional breakdown. I was inconsolable, crying endlessly for an entire week. Before this major breakdown but while using Yaz, I would have random, inexplainable periods of distress, usually a day or two, here or there, when I just felt sad and anxious for no reason, and would usually end up crying and feeling stressed out. Since ending Yaz treatment, I have had no such mood swings. I'm back to being happy. I did not have breast tenderness or enlargement, yeast infections or any other notable changes. For others, this pill works WONDERS. I guess it just doesn't work for me.

I have been using Yasmin for 7 years and now am changing my method due to strong suggestion from my GP and after reading this article: [link removed]

I'm 16 and new to birth control.I'm about to begin taking accutane so I have to be on birth control,but I won't start my cycle(accutane) for a few weeks.I've been on Yaz for a couple of weeks.My skin is a little clearer,but...it isn't all fun and games.I had and still have nausea,stomach cramping,cramping(as though I have my period).But clear skin id definitely worth it,my body always takes a while to get adjusted to medications
