It's been 4 days since I've quit taking YAZ. I was on it for 8 months. It's only 4 days, but I'm thrilled to be free of a daily pill. Prior to this I was on Ortho Tricyclen. I'm not sure if I'll be going back on that or not. Right now, I'm happy to be pill free and referring to other forms of protection when needed. (I have two children and in my 30s).
