I am having quite the hard time on my birth control. I had decided to give it a good try. I have been on the full strength stuff for many months now and I feel like a monster. I am so grumpy! I have absolutely NO patience with anyone, my family, people driving etc. I have been getting waves of depression (this was something that another birth control caused for me before we had Benjamin.) My emotions are out of control as well. Just watching something simple on TV can start my eyes watering. I don't want to be this kind of mom, always snapping at my kids, impatient and unloving. Anyway I finally told Brad I have to do something (he seemed eager for me to get on with doing something and quick.) Anyway.. I called my doctor and just told them that I have to do something becuase I am not myself and I don't like my family a lot of the time these days. So they are wanting to switch me to another pill to try. UGH! I am not opposed to trying another pill, but I am also one of those people who hate taking the pill. I feel safe with it (as far as not haivng a baby right now), but I don't feel safe with the way I feel etc. and just putting chemicals in my body. They want to switch me to YAZ, and I have never taken this one. I am going to do some research before I just say ok give it to me. Why can't it just be easy?
I did hear something about birth control pills for men recently... maybe I should look into that :)
Anyone been on YAZ ? if so what was your experience?

hey lauren. i had terrible experience with birth control pills before i got on Yaz. i was on the patch before and it was ok but i gained a lot of weight. then seasonique and it was ok but i was kind of moody. then lo estrin 24 and it was HORRRRRRRIBLE!!!! i was depressed and moody at the flip of a switch and so emotional. i felt like there just wasnt a good pill out there for me. then i got on yaz and i love it. i lost weight, no more depression waves, and definitely not as moody. you should definitely give it a try!!
I've never been on Yaz but I've known 2 people that took it and it made them crazy. Just an FYI. But I do hope you get it worked out!
I was on YAZ for a year or 2 before we got pregnant. I enjoyed it. I didn't have any real issues but I have never really had any extreme issues to birth control before. This was the 2nd one I was put on and I really enjoyed it. No mood swings or depression or anything like that. I hope it goes the same for you but then again since I never had problems on others I am not sure if this is a good advertisement for it. :-)
I was on YAZ for years b/c birth control usually made me very nauseous and feel blah. My problem with YAZ that it completely screwed up my cycles. Like I would be 2-3 weeks late waiting for my period, which was really annoying, because I was never pregnant. Then I went off right after me and Griff got married and I completely synched up. Otherwise, I think YAZ is good about keeping your moods fine and no weight gain. GOOD LUCK!
