Totally worried now! I've been on Yaz for a year, and my prescription just ran out---I got a refill for one month from my new GYN (who I'm seeing tomorrow for the first time), and when I went to pick it up yesterday, they charged me $80!! For one month's supply! When, for the last 8 months (that's when I switched to this same insurance) I've been getting 2 months worth for $25. Pharmacist said he didn't know why the price was different, but that's what it said, so I had to pay it. EEK. He's going to call me back today and let me know what his manager said??

So I guess today/tomorrow, I'll find out if I won't be able to continue on with Yaz---I don't want to go to Yasmin! Yaz is working perfectly, I don't see any reason to mess with a good thing.....but I couldn't afford $80 a month. My old doc told me that Yaz was better for me, since I've got enough estrogen already, the lower estradiol would be a good thing for me. What if my new doc doesn't agree? I'm having trouble finding any research to support Yaz over Yasmin for PCOS. Do you ladies have any suggestions?
