What I will say:

Every woman's body chemistry is different. Some work wonders for one woman, but are a nightmare for another. I would take all of the recommendations you hear, wonderful and informing as they are, and realize you may have a very, very different experience.
Yaz is not the same as Yasmin. I believe Yaz has 24 active days, instead of 21, so it's supposed to decrease the length of your period. They have the same progesterone variant (which is different from most bc pills, I think that's what makes me most compatible with Yasmin), but I believe Yaz has a lower estrogen level. It's supposed to be good for managing PMDD.
