I've been on Yaz for a couple of months. My period's been a little weird on it, but not too nutty. The first one was longer and lighter, the last one was short and light, and I currently have my period although it wanted to come earlier than it was supposed to so I had a bit of spotting. I think I'm just getting used to everything. I don't really have any other major side effects other than sore breasts and a few extra zits during the first pack of pills. I think once I adapt, all will be well.

When my doctor prescribed it for me, I came to the birth control message board and did a search for "Yaz." It's newer, so there weren't a lot of posts. However, more people have been posting about it the past couple of months. You might find some extra info that way, too!

Good luck!
