Birth Control
"I&#039;ve tried just about every birth control in the book. Depo was by far the worst with over 15lbs weight gain in a year, horrible acne and leg cramps. Loestrin24 wasn&#039;t far behind with chronic exhaustion, zero sex drive and depression. Ortho wasn&#039;t bad, but I did experience weight gain (about 5lbs in a year). Yaz is by far my favorite, and I can say that both before having my first child and after.

Yaz stabilized my pre-menstrual mood swings. I think it actually increased by sex drive post pregnancy. I&#039;ve had no weight issues and no acne problems. I think all the commercials about Yaz&#039;s side effect are bogus - every birth control is going to show correlations with some disease or another. I&#039;d recommend Yaz in a heartbeat."
