Morning Ladies! I need some help.

Here's the story. I decided I wanted to go on birth control. I heard a lot of good things about Alesse 28, so i told my gyno i would like to try it. Side effects were normal, and i loved the pill. When i went to refill my prescription they had stopped making Alesse and it was going to be about 4 months until they had the pill back in stock. My doctor was called and she told the pharmacy it was alright to put me on generic. Now i know generic is slightly similar BUT i had the worse cramps and my sex drive completely went away. It was not normal. I recently had my yearly, and i told her about my side effects and wanted to try a new pill. She prescribed yaz. I have heard both good and bad stories about the pill. Any advice before i start the birth control?

Thanks!

You really just have to see how it goes--everybody responds differently, so regardless of who had good or bad experiences, you may find that you like Yaz better or you migiht not.
