Anyone taken it?? I have been on Yasmin for years and love it but my gyno recommended Yaz for shorter periods- just wanted to see if anyone knew anything about it... thanks!

My best man's wife was on that for like two months and it made her really really sick everyday...so she got completely turned off of BC and is now 6 mos pregnant![]()
I switched from yasmin to yaz and hated it! i had my period for 10 days and i swear it made me crazy. I stayed on the yaz for 6 months and decided to switch back to yasmin. I have also recently switched Drs and she said low dose can cause breakthrough bleeding thats why i was experiencing long periods and she perfers yasmin over yaz
OMG!!! I was put on YAZ and I never get my period until I start the next pack. And I too am experiencing wicked cramps. When I got back to the dr. I am going to asked to be switched back. Thanks to all who have replied. I thought that it was just me.
I too had a bad experience with Yaz. I was on Ortho Lo with no problems, and switched to Yaz for shorter periods. I didn't get my period at all for two months on it, and had bad side effects. After I went off it, it took 2 more months for my period to come back. They were a very stressful two months! If you aren't having any problems with your current BC, I wouldn't switch. I don't know anyone who has liked YAZ.
I got switched from LoEstrin..and didnt get my period the first month but i was fine after the second pack... no side effects.. no problems... no cramps... i'm pretty hapy with it..
it was annoying the first two months, my cramps were way worse ( and that was the whole reason I switched in the first place) then it wasn't so bad....didn't get my period until after i started a new pack each time though....that was weird.....been off it for a few months now (long story, not pill related) but I am going to start something different this month....not a huge fan of Yaz...
i'm on yasmin and love it.....i've heard good & bad (as with any BC) about yaz, so i figure why change if i'm happy with the one i'm on???? i also dont like the whole 'make ur period shorter' thing...i feel like it's ur messing with ur system... ANYWHOO, i just know i'm happy with what i have...so i dont really have an interest in switching and starting the whole process over.
ive been on it for almost 2 years and love it. Earlier this year it started not to be covered by my insurance but i love it so much, i decided to pay the 50 bucks a month just to have it. i have zero cramps, zero bloating and my period lasts 2 days tops.
