I am on Yaz birth control and I have had nothing but GOOD experiances with it. They had me on another kind at first but it made me bleed non stop so they put me on the Yaz and I haven't had any problems. I hope this helps.

I was on the pill for many years and it helped to maintain my weight and prevent blemish outbreaks. My hormones were balanced and it was nice to have a regular cycle. I was on Trycyclen and found it to be pretty good after trying several other brands. Good luck.

I was on ortho tri-cyclin when I turned 12 and it helped a lot! I went on Yaz when it first came out and I was so happy with it. It did wonders for my mood swing and cramps, it also really helped with the acne! I would ask your dr about it.

I don't know if its just me or what but since iv started taking the pill which was this Thursday, its sending me nuts i can't stop crying i feel so emotional i don't think i can deal with it or even if my boyfriend can deal with me like this i cry for hours for no reason or it may be a simple little thing that sets me off.

Do you think i should get advice of my DR or just try to keep going with it?

That is probably just your hormones getting adjusted. I tried Yaz and didn't do well, I am now taking Ocella and doing ok. I am still adjusting to the meds. Actually my body is. It has really helped with cramps and my periods though.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
