I am 16 years old, and I am on my second week of YAZ. I do not recommend this product to ANYONE. I am aware of the fact peoples bodies react differently to different doses of hormone, I am also aware you should give it some time for your body to acclimate to new drugs, but what i have been experiencing is close to unbearable. I went on the pill to end my terrible periods. They would be extremely irregular, i would have cramps so bad i would have to miss school, and i would have severe clotting (most likely due to laying down during my menstrual cycle.), and to clear up my acne. As promised, my skin is clearing up nicely. Although on the worse end,I have never had a migraine in my life and i have had one for almost 3 days now! Since i have started YAZ i have been on my period for the past two weeks, and it shows no signs of stopping soon. Also, I have had zero sexual drive since i have began YAZ, and as a sixteen year old girl I know for a fact that it is NOT normal by any means. I have always been a naturally thin girl, now i cant eat enough, and i am gaining weight on my stomach and thighs, which is making me extremely self conscious. Anyone who has taken the time to read this, thank you.I am just trying to warn girls my age about what might be in store for them if they begin this pill, and seriously consider if it is worth these side effects.

My daughter is 16 and her dermatologist put her on Yaz 3 months ago for mild to moderate acne. After reading everything from you and others, I am not going to refill this! prescription My daughter went from a C bra cup to a DD in a month. She got so big so fast she has horrible stretch marks on her breasts. She has gained at least 10 - 15 pounds; and she has always been very tiny and is a flyer on her cheer squad. Thank you for taking the time to post your experience with Yaz, because I was suspicious that these symptoms were not coincental, and you have confirmed that. I hope the best for you and all the other women adversely afftected by this pill!
