I started taking YAZ for PMDD two months ago and it has helped so much. It has seemed to mess with my menstrual cycle, though. The first month I took it my period started on the second day of the white pills, I had light spotting a couple of days before that and now I am on my 2nd month and I am on my third day of white pills and no period and no spotting.. no sign of period so far. I seems to be messing up my cycle... ugh! Any thoughts anyone?!

I took Yaz for almost two years and it has been a great birth control pill for me. For the first three to five months that I was on it, I barely had a period. This is normal. I freaked out and called my doctor but my body was getting used to different doses of hormones in my system. It's totally fine. If you have other side effects such as fever, nausea, vomiting etc. then I would see a doctor asap. If you are sexually active, I would def. use a condom as well to be safe. I have decided to switch from Yaz to Ocella (generic for Yasmin) for purely financial reasons. It's just too expensive to pay for Yaz without health insurance. Good luck, chica...all will work out!
