    My sister had been taking it and swears by it, but the cost made her stop using it. My sister never gained a gram whilst on it and it helped her with her moods greatly which was her reason for seeking a different pill from the one she was on as she felt other pills besides the Yaz were sending her crazy.

    I agree with the PP, try to get a month or 2 from your Dr to see how you react to it.

    Thanks for your replies, ladies
    I ended up getting some free sample packs from my GP a couple of weeks ago and AF arrived a few days later... (warning: a bit of TMI to follow...)
    So I've been on Yaz for nearly two weeks now, taking it at the same time every day as directed. But I'm still bleeding?! Is this normal? I feel... okay, I guess, the normal AF aches and pains (well, really achy and painy thanks to 'mild' PCOS), and I feel a bit sick in the guts within about 3 hours of taking the Yaz (it goes away again about two hours after it sets in), but I thought AF was meant to be lighter and shorter on Yaz than normal? As it is, AF usually only hangs around for 5-7 days but I'm on day 13 of the pill and still have plenty of dark brownish, sludgy discharge every time I wipe and I still have to use a pad (a liner's not good enough). Is something wrong? I'm going to go see the Dr if it hasn't stopped by Monday, but I'm just a bit
    If anybody could help out, I'd really appreciate it. TIA!
