"i&#039;m 32 and never took any birth control pills.  i was on the fence taking yaz due to negative responses.  i love this birth control and glad i took it.  i only experienced light bleeding during the 1st month of taking pill. when i finished the 1st pack the bleeding stopped.  i noticed i was emotional when i took the first placebo pill but when i took the 2nd i was back to normal.  my doctor put me on the pill due to irregular periods and when they came on they would be extremely heavy. i missed work some days due to this.  well when i got my period with taking yaz it came on when taking the placebo pills and was light, no cramps, very short.  my skin looks great, i wake up happy as can be, no emotional issues, sex drive up."
