I was just put on YAZ birth control pills. Can anyone tell me what kind of side effects, if any, they have had? I know everyone is different, but atleast I can get a general idea. The last bcp I was on made me gain weight. I just had a baby and the last thing I need to do is GAIN any weight! Thanks!

What can I do next?

Hi, I just wanted to share with you that although I have never tried YAZ (but have considered it) I am currently on the Nuvaring, and I absolutely love it. The side-effects from the hormones are minimal if any, periods are regular, and I am not gaining any weight. My baby is 8-months old and I've been on the ring from the time I stopped nursing at around 8 weeks on. So, just an FYI in case you decide to seek another method, the ring is great! =)

I've been taking Yaz for 3 months and so far I like it. It has helped to keep my skin clear, cuts down on my pre-menstrual symptoms, and I never have cramps. My periods are lighter, and only last about 3 to 4 days. I also like that you can skip periods or delay periods with it if you have a vacation or something important that you wouldn't want to be on your period for. I have gained about 10 pounds, but I'm not sure if it's due to the pill or if it's due to the Christmas and Thanksgiving eating I did. I was on Yasmin before I started Yaz for about a year and never gained a pound, so I'm thinking that it was probably just my eating habits and not the pill. My doctor always try it for at least 3 months and if you don't like it or you gain weight try another one. Good Luck!!

I’ve been taking YAZ for over a year now. I did gain a bit of weight, but I’m not sure if it is this pill or other factors. It has helped with some mild depression that was plaguing me. My skin has been clear and my periods are very light.

I have been on YAZ for over 2 years, and I LOVE it. I never gained any weight with it. It works great at keeping my PMS under control. I am the type of person that has terrible cramps,& bad skin around that time of the month, YAZ has totally aleviated both of those problems. It also helped with a little mild depression too. Not to mention shorter periods!!! Like 3 of 4 days at the most YAH!! I hope you like it as much as I have.

Here is a link for the YAZ bcp that I found.

I think any bcp can make you gain or loose weight, just depends on your body and how it reacts to it.

Hope this helps!

Take care,
God Bless,
