Yaz

[NoNo]

I HATED YAZ!!!!

I also spotted between periods and gained 15 lbs in 3 months. I also felt numb the whole time, like I had no feelings. My skin broke out in places it never breaks out. I got cystic acne on my cheeks, nose, chest and back.

It was a HORRIBLE experience for me and I will never go back on it. Loestrin is definitely a better fit for me regarding low dose BCPs...

Good luck!

Wow, that's pretty much the exact opposite of my experience. I love it. I used to have debilitating cramps for the first three days, and even a good week before my period. I'd also get super moody, intense food cravings, and a host of other PMS-related issues. Yaz has stopped all of that. Rarely (maybe once a year) I have spotting, I'm no longer a crying/screaming mess, and for me the biggest change is that I no longer suffer in pain. No skin problems, either, but then I never really had any even through puberty. Weight has been steady, if not slightly lower, as well. I guess everyone has a different result and you won't know what works for you until you try.

I was on it for years....no ill side effects what-so-ever. Have recently stopped the pill altogether but you should be aware of what is going on with this brand. All meds have their risks and side effects but this one seems a bit more...what do you say??? Anyway, read on:

I get the occasional pre-period pimple on the forehead, but nothing like I experienced on Yaz. I'm glad you like it and as it seems just like everything else on this board, everyone is different and has to learn what works for them
