  1. All of the birth control pills are associated with a certain amount of weight gain and moodiness, it's a side effect of the hormones and overriding the normal hormonal rhythm.  The birth control pill works by tricking the body into thinking it's pregnant, which in turn suppresses ovulation.  You don't get to do that without having some of the same symptoms associated with early pregnancy.  It's also unlikely you'd have success in avoiding them since you had trouble with YAZ.  YAZ in particular is usually recommended for ladies who do suffer from PMDD or PMS, as a means of controlling that.  You may have to choose another form of birth control, if you are that sensitive to the hormonal types found in birth control pills.  You may come to prefer an IUD, which is less likely to cause you problems.  The Paraguard is a copper IUD, effective for many years, and contains no hormones at all.  The Mirena releases small amounts of Progestin, which help suppress ovulation but may be more tolerable for you.  IUD's are more expensive at the onset, but as they last for years they can easily end up cheaper than a prescription for pills.  Have this discussion with your gynecologist, explore your options and then choose.  This isn't really something you can take a poll on here at YA, as the final recommendation must come from somebody qualified to say, with the training to do so.


  2. i know for me that Yasmin is the best for teenagers bodys.. i dont know how old you are.. (sorry if yasmin is YAZ i dont know what you mean)

    I was on Tri-cyclen lo (supposed to have "lo" side effects) and i had the worst time, criying getting mad, the most horrible bloody cramps!

    I think it depends on you. just tell your doctor, and h**l get yyou to try out another kind until you find one you like.
