I was on yaz for 5 months and i had massive hair loss and, no appite, and i got pregnant with my son on the 3rd month on them got a period and following month no period and i found out i was 10 weeks and i was taking the pills correctly!
My 16 year old daughter has been on Yaz now for two months and i have pulled her off of them. We put her on birth control to help regulate her cycle and for the last 7 days she has had rapid heart beats and very dizzy along with some of the other symptoms i have read about on here. I trusted the doctor to put her on something that was safe for her to take (she had to have open heart surgrey at 6 weeks old and from what i have seen on this forum she should not have been put on this). I took her to her doctor to have her heart checked out and hope to find out the results soon. I had called the doctor that put her on Yaz and was told that this medicine has nothing to do with what is going on with her and just hung up the phone. I feel like i let my daughter down by not checking Yaz out before she started taking it.
I was on it for about six weeks prior to having uterine polyps removed and a D&C. It was meant to stop the constant menstrual bleeding (I had been bleeding four about 4 months straight).
It didn't stop the bleeding. I was nauseous the entire time I was on it; and I suffered extreme anxiety. I couldn't fathom why I was so anxious. I had had this procedure done before, there were no unusual stressors in my life. Just before the procedure, I went back and read the leaflet and realised that I had the dreaded side effects.

i've been on yaz for about 2 months (second pack) now and haven't noticed any drastic, or horrible side affects. my skin has exceptionally cleared up, especially around my period when my acne gets very bad. i have noticed that i'm very fatigued, and didn't know it was because of the yaz until i started reading about it. i've actually lost weight and am much more personable with people. my pmdd is practically gone. i'm 17, 5'2 and 133 lbs.
i started birth control with the nuva ring, but decided to switch to oral contraception after being uncomfortable with it, and reading about the nuva ring increasing the chance of blood clots more than any other birth control pill. after that i started yasmin and it did not help me whatsoever. if anything, it only made me worse. i gained weight, i was irritable all the time, depressed, and just wanted to eat and eat!
i prefer Yaz over anything else.
but i may start the depo-provera shot birth control.
it's something i'm looking into.

I tried Yaz for three months and just quit with a whole new unopened pack I'm not going to use. My trouble was intestinal distress. I couldn't eat anything without being sick--burning feeling in my gut, cramping, diarrhea, indigestion, gas, bloating. That was everyday all day long. I tried taking it first thing in the morning or last thing at night. Nothing stopped the diarrhea until I stopped taking it.
I'm 41 and thought it might help with PMDD and possibly raise a very low estrogen level. But it's not worth it to me to be in the bathroom all the time or desperately seeking one.
I'll either forgo the pills altogether or go back to Alese. If I have to take Tamoxifen for DCIS, which could bring on early menopause, it won't matter.

I have been on Yaz for about 6 months since I had my daughter. I haven't gained any weight but my mood swings are horrible. I go from one extreme to the next. I can be laughing one minute and completely furious the next. My husband and I have been fighting more often. I feel at times that i have no control and don't even know what I'm doing or why I'm doing it. Could it be the Yaz?
