Hi-

Not sure if this the correct forum to post this in...but I was recently perscribed the Yaz birth control pill by my doctor b/c i was told you don't gain weight on it. However upoin doing some research online, I found a pretty big dissatisfaction rate on it.

Is anyone currently taking this pill now? And if so, do you like it?

Feedback would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

I took Yasmin for 3 months, it was alright, no mood swings or weight gain but I had breakthrough bleeding in the last week of every packet and it made my boobs sore as HELL. Try Marvelon- in trials it was exactly the same as Yasmin in terms of people gaining or losing weight (so much so that the results of that trial forced the makers of Yasmin to withdraw the advertising claim that it was the pill you would lose weight on) and it has much higher satisfaction ratings.

I have been taking yasmin for the past year and I couldn't fault it at all! It's a vast improvement on Microgynon which gave me massive mood swings, thrush and really bad bladder infections. The first month I started yasmin I was a little tearful at times but there again I hadn't taken any kind of hormonal contraception in a while so it was to be expected. I did gain some weight but I have lost most of it again now.
