Sabine answered Monday April 30 2007, 9:47 pm: teenadvice is wrong. You spoke with your doctor, who went to a lot of school, in order to find the best solution for your problem. I think it's teetering dangerously close to abuse for an advicinator to tell you that a whole class of prescription medicine is not good and to advise you not to follow your doctor's recommendations.
Here's a patient information site for Yaz. Its side-effect profile does include fluid retention, but does not mention weight-gain specifically. Neither does it address the idea of Yaz contributing to the development of breast tissue. Usually, OCPs (birth control pills) are thought not to affect development.
The best advice that I or anyone can give you is to call your doctor and ask him/her about your questions. The doctor knows for sure.

It also probably won't make your breasts bigger but there is a slight possibility because of all the hormones the birth control pill releases into your body. But they will not grow any more than a half size if they do at all. I hope I helped. [ Ashumms's advice column | Ask Ashumms A Question ]
