Hi! I'm new! I've been on BC for two years. I had been taking Estrostep and thought that was going well for me but for the past year I've noticed that my sex drive is non existent. So with a change of Dr's I thought I would change BC. My Dr...or NP said that she wouldn't have put someone my age (21) on Estrostep (what does that mean?) I'm kind of excited starting a new BC. My poor boyfriend has gone through my many mood swing changes so he is happy that this could change my moods and our personal life.

When I started on Estrostep I was ok. A few headaches. No abnormal bleeding. After two years everything is normal except for my sex drive. Never gain weight, a few pimples but I don't care about that. I've read through the post about Yaz and have read a lot of bad stories about it but haven't read a lot of good stories. I know everyone reacts differently to BC and hopefully since I did well on Estrostep I will do well with Yaz.

So any good stories while using Yaz? Bad stories are of course welcome since both sides of the pill should be told.

Also, I always thought the placebo pills were just to remind you not to forget to take the pills so I never took them since I thought they don't do anything but is there another point to taking them? Thanks
