YAZ : Oral Contraceptive

I love this pill, only one that hasn't made me put on weight. Definitely worth the extra cost, I have been on it for 6 months and won't be changing any time soon! Definitely the pill for me :o)

I've been on Yaz for 6 months now. It started working immediately for regulating my period and it took about four months for my acne to clear up but not my skin looks great so it was well worth the wait! I was on Loestrin 24Fe before this for 4 months and it made me super depressed and didn't help my skin or regulate my period. Yaz has been a wonderful change.

i've been on this pill for 3.5 months now and my acne has remained the same. my boobs have gotten bigger but no reduction in acne yet. i hope it starts to work soon

Everyone who says "don't try it" should not be giving that advice. No drug will react to everyone the same. Everyone has different body chemistry. Also Yaz is for people with pmdd, it does nothing for pms. And it is for people who have moderate acne. It will not work for everyone unfortunately but it is not uncommon that girls have to try several types of birth control until they kind the one that works for them. Yaz has done wonders for me. I have bad anxiety & it hasn't exasperated it in anyway which proves my point that it, like any drug, affects everyone differently. Bottom line try it for at least 3 months, if it isn't for you try another one its trial & error.

I started retinol A Two weeks after starting yaz. The have pretty much the same effects. They give horrible initial breakouts and work after 3 months. I am 23 and I started getting acne at 21. -First month I got a millions little pimples. -Second month I got some black heads. -Third months my little pimple turned into huge pus filled pimples. I could not touch my face. I am beginning the last week of the third pack. I have really bad red scarring. When I look in the mirror it still looks like I have acne from the scars, but when I touch my face it is smooth. I have three tiny little pimple right now, which will probably go away in a few days. I only got acne where I usually get acne. The two inches right in the middle of my forehead. Luckily I was able to cover it with a new hair style (bangs), otherwise I would not have been able to bare the acne. The first three months were sooo bad. I suggest getting bangs or waiting to start during summer vacation and plan on goin

I have been taking Yaz for 6 years now and it has been great! No negative side effects for me; no weight gain, no mood swings or low sex drive. I believe that Yaz has kept my skin's oil levels under control as well as the acne lesions that occur. I skip my placebos so that I only have 4 "periods" a year.

I know all women are different, but boy, my OB/GYN did well! I'm going into my fifth month on YAZ. The first two months were horrible, breakouts every day. But halfway through month three, almost overnight, my acne faded and faded. My skin used to EXPLODE at that time of the month; I would be miserable, and my cramps were unbearable. After Differin, Ziana, and OTC products had failed, my doctor finally recommended the Pill. Now, although I do break out around my period, it's one thousand times less severe. I would strongly recommend this Pill. But here's a warning, give it time! At least three months. Also, if you're a forgetful person it might not be the best option. But, here's the bottom line for me: I love me some YAZ!

I didn't start getting acne until a year ago. I could totally tell there was a change in my hormones. I started to slowly get acne worse and worse. My doctor first tried epiduo and an antibiotic. The epiduo worked great for my comedonal but nothing was stopping my cystic acne! Antibiotics don't work for hormonal acne, you must have something for your hormones. After two months of YAZ and Epiduo my skin looks so much better!!! I have started only using powder make. Before I would not let anyone see me with out liquid and powder. I cant wait until I can feel comfortable make up free! Combination is key!

it is fantastic at clearing up my skin i had moderate acne for 4 years it wasn't to bad but just bad enough to make me self conscious, i finally went to the doctors and the doctor put me on it. I noticed improvements in like the first week! it was amazing, now my skin is clear and stays clear. the only problem was that my boobs grew which resulted in stretch marks.

I'd tell anyone with more severe acne to give it try. I had suffered with acne since I was 10 or 11 and so I tried yaz to see if it could help and it did! Besides that, you get a lighter period thats around 3 days long which makes life a bit easier. Every woman's body is different so I'm just saying it worked for me!
