i am almost fifteen and today i took my first pill of Yaz. i was wondering what to expect this week like mood swings and all the possible side effects. and also, how long does it take to become effective in preventing pregnancy?

actually it isn’t yaz, it’s generic, so it’s ocella. well the white pills are the "inactive reminder pills", so is there even a point to taking them? is there any kind of medicine at all in them?

I was wondering if smoking will cause any adverse effects with the Yaz. I know that it bad for me, so please don’t preach about that. I just want to know the repercussions of smoking and being on Yaz birth control.

I’ve been taking it for about 2 1/2 weeks now, and I seem to be dizzy all of the time. Also about 6 months ago I pinched a nerve in my neck which caused severe dizziness, but it healed up. I was wondering whether this dizziness could be caused from Yaz since I haven’t put any strain on my neck again. And if it is possible, is there any way to make it help it? Thanks!

The doctor have gave me sample of yaz bc and than she had prescribe me the yaz 3mg/0.02mg Is the sample have the same mg has the yaz I have now?What my doctors is doing is having me taking the active pill for 3months than my none active pill the 3rd month so it be like my peiode wont come for 3 months

After a miscarriage in May, I went on yaz birth control and I had some bleeding from May 28 to June 14. On the 12th of June, I ran out of the first month of pills but I was planning to switch to another pill anyway. So I have been off of yaz and any form of bc since the 12th of June. I havent had a period yet and I am unsure if my bleeding was a period or from the miscarriage. Has anybody not had a period after stopping yaz and wasnt pregnant?

I have been on Yaz for three years now. My hair was curly but is now only wavy. Is there a better birth control pill or method I should use to get my curls back?

I’ve been on Yaz for about 3 years, now. I have a big event coming up this weekend and would prefer not to be on my period. My fourth week of pills starts tomorrow. Should I go ahead and start a new pack? Have you ever tried to delay or skip a period while on Yaz?

I asked a question asking about what people thought about the generic form of yasmin, ocella and whether they liked it or not. I also asked if it was okay that i was being switched from yaz to a genric form of a different birth control, yasmin…and my question got deleted. Why is that? Does anyone know? Thanks.

I am now on gianvi the generic form, which makes me extremely tired which Yaz did not do to me. But, since my family keeps hearing all these lawsuits against Yaz, I would like to switch birth controls. What pills are very similiar to Yaz, without all the problems? And not Gianvi since it’s like the same thing.
