Well, Ladies I've taken Yaz for almost three years and what I am now figuring out is it's makes me photosensitive. I get sun-poisoning! Even when it's only for a few minutes here and there. Also, has anyone noticed when they get in the sun your upper lip turns darker? That's the Yaz, too.

I took Yasmin for four years and just stopped 3 months ago. While on Yasmin I did not notice/realize that some problems I experienced may have been due to Yasmin. I had extreme dryness with my contacts throughout the last year of taking it. Also, last summer I got melesma (mask of pregnancy) on my upper lip! It looked like I had a mustache, but it was skin discoloration. This, plus the desire to have a baby sometime in the next year or so, prompted me to stop taking the pill. I have had one late period so far and now it's been 45 days without a period. Someone posted that they have been experiencing mucus that appears to be the type one has when fertile. I have experienced this, too, off and on throughout the last 45 days. I have heard that it can take up to 6 months to have normal periods again, but everyone's posts are scaring me that I may never be normal. On the other hand, a friend of mine went off of her bcp (another type) and got pregnant within the first month. I suppose that everyone's bodies are so different that it's hard to know what's really going on.

Wondering if anyone has noticed an increase in sun spots on their face? I'm 31 and wear SPF 30 on my face daily - but since I've started on Yasmin the sun spots seem to be getting worse daily (I thought this wasn't supposed to happen until my 40's). I haven't changed anything else in my daily routine - just curious is anyone else has noticed the same thing?
