I originally started YAZ to regulate my menstrual cycle and be protected from pregnancy. The first 2 months were okay, I didn’t notice any side effects besides nausea.

I originally started YAZ to regulate my menstrual cycle and be protected from pregnancy. The first 2 months were okay, I didn’t notice any side effects besides nausea. After 8 months of being on YAZ I was extremely depressed and feeling suicidal. It caused problems in my relationship and personal life bc of my mood swings, along with a major decrease in sex drive and some nausea/decrease in appetite. Oh, and I can’t forget terrible acne!! Recently, I’ve gained some weight from the depression but my weight fluctuates especially when the pill causes me to lose my appetite completely from the nausea. The only plus is it’s done a wonderful job protecting me against pregnancy considering me and my boyfriend have had a couple accidents. It has also regulated my cycle, my periods were normal. The negative side effects outweigh the good for me. Because of that, I switched to Aubra today, so hopefully it’ll work better for me.

Been two months on Yaz and I must say I’m loving it. My periods only last 3 days as opposed to 5, cramping has improved the pain is not that intense and my acne marks are clearing up. Would recommend to anyone!!

The worst birth control. If you’re going to take it, seriously make sure you do not EVER miss a pill. I missed ONE PILL, immediately got back on track the next day, but my period started anyway and lasted for 7 days (and I was a taking a pill, not a placebo) for all of those days. My normal period doesn’t even last that long, it’s maybe 4-5 days. Absolutely ridiculous.

I have recently started taking yaz and I don’t find it too bad . I think it gave me a symptom of dry reaching which is pretty annoying buttt besides that I’ve been fine . My skin hasn’t dramatically changed but it’s helped . Don’t get too spooked out by the comments it’s different for everyone and there are always alternatives if needed ??

Okay, here's the dirt on my experience with Yaz. After reading several reviews. I was quite terrified to start at myself as I had had bad birth control experiences in the past.

Okay, here's the dirt on my experience with Yaz. After reading several reviews. I was quite terrified to start at myself as I had had bad birth control experiences in the past. Within the first week of taking Yaz 28. I was an emotional wreck. I would cry over the stupidest things like my boyfriend telling me he was sitting next to a new girl at work. It was dumb. I was over sensitive about everything and I felt like absolute garbage. The worst part was my breakthrough bleeding started on day 13 and lasted almost 31 days. It wasn't heavy enough to be worrisome until my period started. I was quite concerned at the amount of blood that I was losing. So I went to the hospital and had to check in. The doctor told me that everything seemed to be normal and besides the excessive bleeding i was healthy and my blood reports came back to clean. since Getting used to a routine of my pack and my periods syncing up every month. I have noticed that the side effects have reduce significantly. I just want to let anybody know who starting Yaz 28 and feels either an emotional cow. It's normal! There were days when I felt depressed. Everything is finally feeling normal and I'm in a relatively good mood, My skin is flawless. And my period Is normal and healthy. If you're just starting with Yaz, and you're feeling discouraged don't give up! It takes about 3 to 4 months to see any kind of change take effect. It's worth it!
