YAZ : Oral Contraceptive

I was skeptical to try it first since I read online the negative side effect everyone was having. I talked to my GYN doctor and told me to take them in the evenings after a meal around the same time everyday (I take them at 8pm). I never had any side effects that everyone else was having.. No nausea, headaches, dizziness, breast tenderness, mood swings/irritability. In fact, I have less cramping, shorter/lighter periods and by the third month, most of my acne cleared away. I have tried other pills and this one is by far the best for me. I know that Yaz may not be for everyone since everyone's body is different. but I am glad it work perfectly for me. I know Yaz may be expensive, even with insurance. I qualified for the state family planning program and I get them for free.

I have used YAZ for almost 6 years. I have been placed on it just to control my bleeding during my periods. I have never had an issue. I have not gained weight, my periods are 2-3 days long, I never have any serious mood swings (normal ones, just because men drive us crazy), it is very affordable and I have never once had an issue with it NOT working (no pregnancy scares at all). My periods are lighter and very workable, my cramps have diminished too. No bad things to say about YAZ

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've only been taking Yaz for a week but my cheek and chin breakouts have virtually disappeared! I used to wake up with new spots every day. Even my redness has subsided. I have anxiety attacks often and I am on edge a few hours after I take the pill - but I haven't had any bad reactions thus far and even my anxiety is lessening because of it. I take the pill in the afternoon every day so I can keep myself preoccupied, busy, and nausealess. The only complaint I have is that I get very sleepy a few hours after I take the pill (might not even be Yaz's fault though). I'm going to stick with it as I don't think any of these terrifying side effects I've read about will manifest in me if they haven't already. I'll keep you updated :)

It worked of me but that might not say much for you. I love it and never want to come of it. I do not have bad mood swings any more and my boyfriend loves it! My period is so much better only 3 days insted of a week!!! baslicly if you are on this with a good salicylic face wash and benzoyl peroxide, and you will just be zit free!!!

I originally got on Yaz for my moderate sometimes severe cystic acne & regulate my period. Not getting preggo is a bonus. My skin got worse the 1st week. I then started using Proactiv & it got even worse. So I started a supplement that consists of fish oil, flax seed oil, & borage oil. I havent gotten a cyst since. I've had acne since I was in the 6th grade and I'm now 23. I make sure to drink lots of water & I believe this regime together is what worked for me. my confidence is at an all time high, although I am left with dark spots. Im only finishing my 1st month on Yaz (now on day 3 of inactive pill) haven't gotten my period yet but I'm not worried since it can take time for a routine to become established in regard to your period. Ive read horror stories but I didnt get one side effect. I suffer from anxiety but this doesnt make it progressively worse. Just try it because its basically trial 7 error. This was my 1st OC so I was lucky. Hope this helps.

its works for not becoming pregnant and it was nice to have bigger boobs, but really its one of those things you have to try for yourself, every woman is different and it will react different. the only thing i can say is that when it comes to brith control its a pill that makes your body think your pregnany so gaining and unable to loss weight should be expected since that what a real pregnacy would do.

It works. You just have to watch your weight and remember to take the pill everyday.

Yaz is amazing, depending on the person. For me, it's been a complete dream. For some people, it's complete hell. People can't go around saying "DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!!!!" because everyone is different. If I had listened to the people like that, I would have never tried Yaz. I recommend people at least give it a try if they have been thinking about it. If it works for you, great! If it doesn't, just stop taking it. You've got nothing to lose!

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
