I have been on Yaz for 8 months. It reduced my excess hair, acne etc. within the first couple of months, I get very small, slight breakouts right before my time of the month, but I'm ashamed to say that since using Yaz my skin care regime has also declined to washing with soap every night before I go to bed and exfoliating in the shower because with Yaz I just don't feel the need to have a full regime, maybe if I still used Murad, I'd never seen a zit.
I have experienced a slight weight gain on Yaz ... but I also started taking it as a freshman in college, so whether the weight is due to the pill or to school I'm sure. What it has caused is a serious weight redistribution. My weight increased from 146lbs at the beginning of last fall to 152lbs now, but my cup size has increased from a C to a DD, so I'm not complaining too much about it ^^
Yaz does give me the occasional migraine headache, if I don't remember to take it with food. |
