I was on a birth control that would make it so I would only have my menstural once every three months. It worked but it really upset my stomach so I had to stop taking it.

I have recently stopped using oral contraceptives due to the side effects.

Yaz worked like a charm (except during the week before my period...), but gave me TERRIBLE acid reflux after using it for a while. Also possible triggered/worsened a huge stomach problem I have.
Somewhat Helpful
works but makes my depression a little worse

I only freak out one or two days within the month. It's like my mood just suddenly goes from one end to the other... and only when it's before, during, or a week after my menstrual cycle.
Somewhat Helpful
It helped a little bit but I want to have a child so I can no longer take them.

I've tried SO many different types of "The Pill" and so far, Yaz is the closest I can get to feeling normal. It helps with the painful acne I get (almost cystic), and it does have a noticeable effect on my moods.
Somewhat Helpful
Helped at first, periods are back to heavy and super painful again though.
Somewhat Helpful
General mood great, PMT week still horrific.

Eased the severity & duration of PMS cramps. Improved my moods during this time.
