Thought I'd just give you all an update. Not much really to say though. My primary today said she has never heard of Yaz or does not know about it. She said to work with my gyn. regarding bcp since I'm already working with my gyn on my moods and bcp pills that my gyn is more knowledgeable. My primary did say that I could try St. John's Wort for mood supplement. Will do some research on that now. She said it may take up to a month to see if it helps me or not. Otherwise I'll just talk with my gyn further of bcp/moods and maybe see if my gyn thinks Yaz is right for me. So overall... kinda felt like I got nowhere really today at the doctor.

ETA:
ok not sure I'm wanting to take this now after reading it can affect birth control pills. Plus other side effects.

Thank you, Jill. I always value your thoughts/knowledge.
My period has been really heavy... usually it lets up after a few days of having it but this time it was like more heavy than normal I guess for me. I start the active pills again tomorrow. See if I can make it past week 8 this time without having break through bleeding. I have about five months worth left of pills (should not have refilled this script so soon)!
I have this thing of not wanting to waste the pills lol ugh! My moods are still crazy and a new thing is like I'm almost crying everyday now and sometimes do.

Thank you again, will keep you updated as always.
