Your experience with YAZ birth control pills

I am so glad I read these other messages, as I have been so frustrated since I began taking YAZ 5 months ago. My mood swings and my irritability have been worse, I've gained 8 lbs, I have a huge appetite-I always want to be eating! I have experienced "break through bleeding" the 9 nine days leading up to my actual period, which then lasts about 6 days. I am constantly bloated and can't seem to lose any weight no matter how much I work out, or how much I count calories/fat/carb intake. After reading these messages and seeing that there are many other women out there experiencing problems like mine, I am calling my GYN tomorrow to have her put me back on the Ortho-tricyclen. I was on it for 5 years, I should never have gone off of it.
On another note, I'm glad to see that YAZ DOES work for some women, and that they are getting some relief. Thank goodness there are different options out there for each of us to try until we find a good match for our own bodies.

I have been using yaz for about almost 3 weeks now. So far its working ok for me except the occasionally spotting here or there mostly after sex. I have vomited at times but my doctor said id be normal the first pill pack.. so far i like Yaz I've lost weight and feel a lot better... im not to cranky

Your experience with YAZ birth control pills - part 2

I am on my second month of Yaz, I also didn't have my period for that 1st month. But the doctors said that's normal considering everything I've been going through. I finally started, and I can definantly tell that Yaz has made a difference! I am more calm, I sleep better, and I don't eat as much!! lol Which is great b/c I'm trying to lose weight..and one other plus, my breast have been growing like crazy! And it's only been a two months! I wouldn't be concerned unless you go two months w/out starting!
