Has anyone else completely lost their appetite after starting Yaz? I just recently started taking Yaz birth control. The one side effect I've noticed for me is that my appetite is completely different. Most of the time I'm not hungry, and whenever I eat certain foods, they almost make me nauseous after taking a few bites, and then I can't eat anymore. The only foods that I seem to be able to eat are carbs like bread, pasta, things like that. I am thinking this definitely has something to do with taking Yaz, so I was wondering if anyone else suffered these kinds of side effects?
Yaz and Antibiotics: how does it effect you if you start your new pack as you end your antibiotics? I have been on birth control for over 7 years consistently, and have been on Yaz for 8 months. I was diagnosed with a UTI and put on antibiotics, specifically sulfamethoxazole, for a week. I had my monthly during that week, and started a new pack the 2nd to last day of my antibiotics. So I had taken the first 2 BC pills of my new pack and on those 2 days I also took my last two days of antibiotics. I was sexually active on the 3rd day of my pack, but used backup for that day and the next two days. My question is if whether or not I have to continue a backup to use with Yaz if I had barely started my new pack as I was ending my antibiotics. Am I protected as fully against pregnancy with just my pill, or has my antibiotic in those first two days of my pack effected the entire month of my protection and so I need to use back up for a month? Thanks!
Has anyone who is or has taken YAZ birth control noticed a decrease in your sex drive? I just started YAZ and I have noticed a lack of desire to have sex. This is fairly abnormal for me.

What are some drugs that interfere with the effectiveness of oral birth-control, specifically Yaz? I know antibiotics lower its effectiveness, but I recently heard that b-12 will, as well as St. John's Wart, this got me wondering as I take various vitamins at different times, so do you know of any that are bad for the effectiveness of birth control pills, or where I could find that info? I looked on the Yaz website and couldn't find much outside of how great it is for ya! Thanks! P.S.-I'm married and just wanna put of kids for a few years, please don't go off into a abstinence discussion! Thanks! Oh, guess I should have specified that I'm already on it and have been for 5 months now, those symptoms are terrible, but I didn't have any of that, my breasts were a little sore for the first 2 months, not bad tho, and I had a bigger tendency to get headaches for the 1st couple months as well, but nothing major and now I feel as if I'm back to normal, no major symptoms at all!
What is the difference betweem Yasmin and Yaz Borth Control? My doctor switched me from Kariva to Yaz because of acne problems. I start it Sunday.
