    Default YAZ Birth control Pill...anyone taking it??

    The claim is that "Yaz" is the only birth control pill approved to treat emotional and physical premenstrual symptoms.

    Is anyone taking it??? I'm curious because my PMS is HORRIBLE. I honestly feel so sad and upset ONLY during PMS It seems like my dream pill. If anyone has any experience please let me know.

    I took it after a miscarriage to help stop the bleeding. But normally I have massive terrible cramps and heavy bleeding..YAZ was great for that. it did help with cramps and made my periods lighter, i took it for 6 months..but it also made me a complete bitch, so I dont think it helped much with PMS symptoms....

    Thanks for the 411 although that's dissapointing to hear I was hoping it would make me less of a bitch. Oh well, I guess the search will continue for me.

    your results may be different though, caue I have never reacted well to any type of BCP.

    I really need to find one that will work for me too. I've been on a few, and they all make me bleed for months straight, and a total HELL to live with.
    I'm not who I say I am.

    Me too. While on the depo shot I was PMSing 24/7. I was in denial at the time, I remember thinking, "Why is everyone such an asshole?" Apparently the asshole was me since once I got off the shot I only felt like crap a few days before my period.

    everyone reacts differently to hormonal birth control, so you'll get a wide span of responses on here.

    with me... it made me a bitch, made my pms symptoms way worse, but i only stayed on it for 1 cycle, i couldn't take it, things might have changed if i stuck with it... as with most pills. you can't really gauge it based on 1 cycle... you have to wait atleast 3-4

    I've been on it for nine months and I like it. It does help me with PMS symptoms like bloating, breast tenderness and water retention. My periods have always been light so no real difference there.

    You just have to be vigilant about taking it at the same time everyday since it's such a low dose of hormone, if you are even off by two hours you might begin to spot.

    My immediate concern was gaining wait and/or developing acne or my hair falling out (other BC caused this in the past) and nothing like that occurred so I give it a thumbs up!

    Oh, don't get the generic, my Doctor writes on my script to always get the name brand because people have had problems with the generic.

    No, but thanks for posting this. I forgot to take mine and I'm not supposed to be off by more than 3 hrs.
    My BC is great......no estrogen, no period

    woo hoo! "Hope Springs Eternal!"

    Do you find that you feel less moody before your period? Or is it not much of a change?

    Um, I'm not sure I ever got moody before my period but enduring physical PMS symptoms can make me irritable so now that they're gone, I guess I'm less moody.
