(EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS) I started taking YAZ two and half months ago and everything started out O.K. Then after missing one pill, I started having the worst cramps I've ever had in my entire life. I kept taking my pills on time in hopes of stopping the period and cramps but instead while I was bathing a Huge Fleshy Mass came out of me followed by several blood clots. My husband immediately put the mass in a sealed bag and put it in the refrigerator. I took it it in to see a specialist which claimed it probably was some weird side effect to YAZ causing my Uterine Wall to shed. He also admitted the pill hasn't been out long enough to study all the potential side effects. He suggested I finish out my supply and switch to another type of birth control pill. Yesterday I just started my period again, prematurely, and my cramps are again unbearable...I'm dead tired and moody and hope I'm not passing another mass...and I've made it up in my mind to throw away this year supply of YAZ and suggest anyone taking it with harsh side effects to do the same. REMEMBER LADIES THE RECALL ON THE PATCH THAT MADE SO MANY WOMEN VERY SICK??? DON'T BE A GUINEA PIG AND END UP NOT BEING ABLE TO GET PREGNANT. I wish you all the best in finding the right form of birth control...Take Care!!!

thank you for your post! tonight ive decieded enough is enough..im the most happy go lucky person that hardly ever gets tempermental and gets pissed for no reason. ive been on YAZ for about 7 or 8 months and it has; made me gain 20 pounds (was 130 now 150), increased my appitite, i never want to exercise (coming from a woman that used to run at least 3 times a week), lowered my sex drive sooooo much! im a very sexual person and it has made me have NO SEX DRIVE WHATSOEVER!!! its awful..but the worst thing is, it has given me horrible axiety (at least one attack a month, the kind where I through up and shake uncontolable and feel like im going to die). When are they going to make a oral birth control for men already??? women have to put up with so much crap. oh big deal they have to put a peice of plasic over their penis and we have to put up with all the symptoms above.
