[QUOTE=maria75;3011791]I am into my third week of active Yaz pills (1st month) and tomorrow is my last active one before I start the 4 blanks. Today I have some cramping and a bit more breakthrough bleeding than usual. I went on Yaz primarily for acne, recommended by my dermatologist and prescribed by my ob-gyn.
I've really only gotten hormonal, cyclical, unpredictable acne sans the pill, and this month I have had none, with the exception of a blister-like zit that I think I've gotten from too much sun/allergic reaction to sunblock so it's unrelated. In the past I've been on accutane & it works for awhile but my acne always returns, which is a clear sign that mine was hormonal. For the most part, my skin has been consistently better.
The first week on Yaz I had anxiety and nausea, had to pee more, plus some wakefulness during sleep, but now that has subsided. I have not gained any weight but unfortunately my boobs haven't gotten much bigger - maybe a little more filled out :rolleyes: I've been on Aviane/Alesse in the past and my boobs were bigger on that one, then again, so was my budonkodonk. :p
The only problem I've had so far on Yaz that has been a real ongoing drag is breakthrough bleeding. Some days it's just staining, others it's like a substantial flow and it doesn't matter if I take it the same time of day or not. I called my ob-gyn about it and basically if it doesn't stop by the end of the 2nd or early 3rd month, I should come in. I know 3 months seems to be the average waiting time, but it's such a DRAG to have to wear some kind of tampon/liner every day this month. I really hope it stops. I'm taking the longview and staying on it because I don't want to waste the time I've already invested and my skin HAS been much better. If anyone else has had ongoing breakthrough bleeding on Yaz, please let me know if/when it stopped.
Hi,
I just stopped taking Yaz today, my doctor changed for Aviane. :confused:
I really liked how I didn't have cramps and my period was lighter on Yaz, but I had severe depression on it, feeling always tired. My first pack on Yaz I started spotting a few days before my placebo pills and then when I was on the second placebo pill I got the period, that lasted 3-4 days and was light.
Also I noticed that my skin was very dry in my face specially.
I am going to start Aviane as soon as I get my period, so I was wondering how was that pill for you Since you took Aviane and switched to Yaz, and with me is the opposite...
Thank you!
I hope I helped about Yaz,
Angela.
