Is there anyone out there that is also on the new Yaz birth control pill? I just started taking this pill this month, and i know that is just came out in april 2006. Does anyone know if this will be a good pill to be on? what is the effectivness of this particular pill? Also, is it true that it will help with pmdd?
thanks for any suggestions.

Hi missy2296, welcome!

The effectiveness of Yaz should be the same as any other birth control pill, as it had to go through all of the FDA testing (since it's technically a new formulation).
Let me know how your first month goes...

I was very interested to find this thread because my doctor prescribed this for me today, and I had never heard of it (which I see now is because its so new). I really hope that it helps as much as it claims to - since I got my cycle back after my younger son was born, my PMS has been harder than before. And I have been actively trying to lose weight for several months now with very limited success. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Hi! I was just prescribed this drug after some bad side effects on Ortho Tri-Cyclen (including acne and migraines). So, I start it the weekend. The main thing I have read it is helps with weight loss. Does anyone have any comments on how it affects their skin and moods?
Just wondering. I know it's different for everybody, but would like to hear from anyone taking it. Thanks!
