Yaz-Birth-Control
What are the side effects of Yaz?
I'm starting Yaz on Sunday and wanted to know some possible side effects. I know everyone's bodies react differently..but I wanted to know the maine side effects. Also..is weight gain likely? I hope not.. :\ If weight gain does occur..will it wear off in about 3 months, which is when she said most side effects will wear off? And when I'm done taking the pill (6 months) will the weight go away on it's own..or will I have to diet..yet again?
