"i got on yaz right when in 2007. i have been on it ever since than. i&#039;ve thought about switching because of all the negative stories and scary side effects people are claiming yaz has. but honestly, i love this birth control. i don&#039;t have any symptoms during my period. i don&#039;t get cramps, bloating, etc. although, i do get acne during my period, but it consist of 2-3 pimples that go away when my period stops. my period only lasts 3 days, it&#039;s light, and before yaz i&#039;d last up to 7 days and it was very heavy. i have nothing bad to say about it and would recommend it to anyone."
