birth control
I've been on the pill for nearly a year now. From the first month, everything was fine. I had my whole schedule down so no surprises. But I've started to gain nearly 15 pounds in water weight and it happens before and after the period week. I can't find any comfortable jeans and now I have PMS. I've had my period for years and never experienced PMS before. I didn't know I was that bad until people told me. I don't even want to see my friends because of it. It's just constant mood swings and i know it's affecting my relationships and work. I can't concentrate at all. I've been thinking about switching to YAZ.. but when I looked it up online.. and the bad experiences worried me.. I'll like to hear some experiences from here. Does it really affect the physical and mental issues or make it worse?

its normal to gain & lose water weight before & after your period, so i wouldnt worry about that. just buy a pair of fat jeans haha. but it sounds like you actually have PMDD, not PMS. but im not a doctor, so i cant say for sure. PMDD is like PMS, just alot worse. you cry for no reason, yell and HATE your boyfriend, bitch at your best friends, fight with your parents, and generally hate the world & everyone in it. plus you have horrible mood swings.. i know about this bc i have PMDD haha. i just tell everyone my "really mean aunt is visiting," and they know what i mean. but YAZ is actually a birth control designed to control PMDD, so you dont turn into a raving bitch every month haha. there are horror stories and side effects to go with every birth control, so the safest thing to do would be to look up PMDD, talk with your parents about it, explain about YAZ, and go to the doctor or gyno to ask question and gain advice. hope this helps, its the most rational thing i can think of haha.. sorry its long :) -ali
