Hi, yes it is cute and funny that you have as yet had no side effects from the Yaz LOL!

I took Yaz for 6 months and I did realy well on it until around the 4th month when I started getting daily headaches (migraines) and I decided to stop taking it after 3 different doctors said it would be a good isea to stop. Prior to that, I had strange headaches during the first month that felt kind of electric. I also had nausea. Those went away after the thrird month. I did not take it for BC since my DH is fixed ;-) I took it because I have PMDD. It took away all of my PMDD symptoms (except the migraines). It also has diuretic properties so I no longer had the bloating every month from AF.

I hope it works for you :-)

You should plan to allow 2-4 months for your body to get used to Yaz.

I have been taking yaz for 3 months and my first month i had spotting all month. My second month that went away though. I had a little naseau the first coulpe weeks. I've been getting headaches but i'm not sure if that's the yaz. It seemed to take away most of my PMDD symptoms though which is a huge plus to it. Give it a little while and see how you do.
