ok, so i started using yaz around the same time as my surgery and i do not have periods with it. does anyone else experience this?

it takes me a while to get used to....i love it though. my pms is better, and my migraines do not get is bad, my skin is clear, etc.

I took yamine for awhile, but it had the opposite affect on me, I was bleeding all the time. I think it is normal for some people on yaz to not have periods, or for them to be really light.

i just found out today that my coworker takes it, and she has been thinking something is wrong with her because she has been several months without a period...i guess it is a good birth control.

I'm no doctor but to me it can't be all that healthy to go months and months without your period?

my doctor says that as long as i am on the pill and not having periods that my hormones are fine, but if i'm not on the pill and not having periods then my hormones are way out of wack.

isnt yaz the one that gives you a certain amount of periods or is that something like seasonal im trying to find a good birth control (never been on it before)

I just saw an ad for yaz on TV. I didn't know about helping with the emotional aspects of pms, that sounds interesting. Wish I didn't have this damn IUD.

Regarding no periods, when i was reading about the different types of BC, I read that drs. have had the ability to give us BC pills that when taken, we do not have periods since like the 60's (if i remember the article correctly)

But because they thought we women would think it odd not to have a period, they made the pills have the cycle that we are all used to with the placebo pills during the days of our period.

I don't think its "unhealthy" to not have a period. I believe all the pill does is basically tell your body that you are already pregnant, so that it doesn't continue to release the egg every month.

I would prefer no periods compared to this IUD, actually. I completely regret getting it.

I don't think it's unhealthy either. When you are on the pill, you don't have an actual "period" anyway. What you have is withdrawel bleeding from being off the pill for a few days.

i'm starting to like it, but i just had a miscarriage and due to not having periods with the yaz, i didn't know i was pregnant at first.

so now i freak out.

yes, the yaz is wonderful for the pmdd. i have horrible pms symptoms starting a full week before my period (or absence of). i still have symptoms but only like every three months. and now i will have symprtoms but no period.
