"i am 17 and i got on yaz in october 2008. i had never been on the pill before yet, i had heard bad things about yaz. i went through some blood tests to make sure that yaz would be okay for me and turned out i was cleared to take it. i have been taking it for almost a year now and i have felt no symptoms. i actually like yaz because it keeps me very regular, i know exactly what day i will start and around the time, something i have never had before. seeing all these bad reviews people are giving it makes me wonder. i haven&#039;t had any symptoms really but i have had the occasional cramps. my mom today just got me a new pill called ocella. i decided to stay on yaz."
