I'm on my 3rd month of Yaz and I couldn't be happier. I was on ortho-tricyclen for a year and a half but my PMS was getting horrible and I was retaining water like you wouldn't believe (I was actually gaining 10 pounds of water!). Once I switched I get no PMS at all. No aches, no soreness (my boobs would get unbelievably sore and would sting if touched or bumped even in the slightest way), no mood swings. I didn't have any breakthrough bleeding (I'm wondering if it's because I finished my last pack of ortho and went on to yaz on schedule?) and haven't had any side effects EXCEPT for stomach pains the day before I get my period, but it's not so bad that I can't go on with my day (and truthfully, prior to yaz, my stomach gave me problems the whole week before my period -- and that has ceased.). I know some people experience bad things while on yaz, but I have to say, it's working really well for me. Everyone reacts differently to medicines. Read the sheet and report anything to your doctor.
