PCOS Message Board - View Single Post - Suggestions for Birth Control??? Yaz isn't working.

Thanks for your suggestions and experience. My OB put me on Yaz after the birth of my daughter. I don't have any major complaints. I'm not pregnant, so it's obviously working as birth control. My skin is clear. I'm not getting any weird boils or other odd PCOS symptoms. This is the problem......

I KEEP SPOTTING!!!!!

If I miss a day or take it at night instead of the morning one day, I start spotting. It continues until the next pack. That just isn't practical and really messes with the whole bedroom thing. I don't mind bcp's, but I don't recall having this problem when I took them 6 years ago.

I'm open to suggestions for bcp or other forms of bc such as depo or IUD. I'd rather avoid options that will cause me to gain 20lbs, thank you.
