I'm 36 yrs old. I went on Yaz 2 full months ago not for birth control purposes, but to control heavy bleeding, my hair falling out (not hair loss, it grows back), memory problems, period-related fatigue, and extreme moodiness and irritability. So far, I haven't had any negative emotional side effects that others of you have. In fact, it seems to have helped my moodiness and irritability slightly. However, I have experienced two side effects that I cannot tolerate if it doesn't "work itself out" (my doc's words) by the end of my 3rd pack of Yaz. From the first week that I was on Yaz, my libido has been M.I.A. Not only has my sex drive disappeared, but I have found thoughts of sex repulsing me. :( I apologize if this next statement is "TMI" (too much info) but it IS a side effect of this pill that I have experienced! When hubby and I are intimate, I find it IMPOSSIBLE to climax, no matter how hard we try and how "into it" I am. This is not normal for me. This side effect is very disturbing for my husband, who is now insisting that I stop taking the Yaz. I am giving this pill one more month to redeem itself, otherwise it will never set pretty little packet in my house again.

I'm 24 and took yaz for about 6 months and have been off of it for 6 months. I had the same exact symptoms. I had even called the doctor to tell them that no matter what we did to have sex, I could not climax. (My poor husband tried everything he could) She said she has never heard of such a thing, and I thought I was going crazy. I never wanted sex, even the thought of it disgusted me. The only good thing was that my boobs grew a whole cup size. My husband and I decided it would be best to get off of the pill. Well, I stopped taking it in January and it is now May and I still haven't had my period, which is driving me a bit mad b/c we're trying to conceive so I couldn't get pregnant even if I wanted to. Also, my sex drive is still gone, I'm wondering if it will ever come back.
