My doctor started me on Yaz. I got three months (free, yay!). It was my first time on birth control and I never had break-through bleeding, didn't feel bloated, didn't gain weight.

But I did feel a little anxious at times and the first week, I had a very mild upset stomach. Those did go away. I had moderate acne. It lessened a bit.

After my three month supply was up, I switched to something my university pharmacy had generic and cheap ($20!) Kariva (generic of Mircette).
I would probably still be on Yaz if I could acquire it for cheap.

I have just finished up 2 months on Kariva. I have gained 5 pounds, and my acne is still lessened but not completely gone. I was thinking of switching, but as my doctor told me, and the board, I should really give it time to settle in, and that's about 3 months.

I have low sex drive and I think either being on Kariva OR just being on birthcontrol for such a time, as my sex drive is a bit replenished.

I have a question for you gals, Has any birthcontrol increased your sex drive?
