    Default Yasmin BC

    Anyone on this? Like it?

    I was just given a prescription and Ive never been on the pill before...

    He gave me enough to only have a period 4x's a year.

    He said take the yellow pills everyday for 12 weeks then take the white pills for 1 week.

    I have to be on pills for a minimum of 3 months (edit) if I do decide to get pregnant again.

    I dont know the difference in pills so I hope there are good ones. Even with insurance the 4 packs were $78.

    I was on it for a year awhile ago, stayed on it for about 9 months i believe, but ended up going off it because I didn't like the way the hormones made me feel... bland and blah. not my usual up and down self.. just flatlined me. blah.

    I did prefer it over other pills that i tried (some generic cheap one, ortho tri cyclen lo, yaz) because it doesn't make you gain weight, makes your boobs bigger and periods lighter and shorter.

    i don't know why your doctor wants you to take the hormonal pills continuously for 12 weeks though, why not just take it like it comes- 3 week yellow pills, 1 week white placebos like other pills are?

    I take it. I love it.

    I switched because my old brand threw me into depression. I love yasmin. I take it continuously so no periods. No mental health effects, my tits got bigger and are staying bigger, and it cleared up my skin.

    Oh yeah, and no babies. But I take pills to calm my stupid uterus down because it always hurts and bleeds.

    But birth control is a highly individual thing. I know some women who hated it. It's perfect for me though.

    Yeah like bigger enough that other people will notice! For me, at least...it's wacky. I never got asked if I had real boobs before I started taking yasmin and now I get asked 5 times a shift, minimum. It's crazy.

    Ive taken it for over three years now with now problems and no pregnancies! I usually take the non active pills and have my period every 5-6 weeks. I got a sample of Yaz at my last appointment, but i heard theres not much of a difference between regular yasmin, just marketing so they can make more $$$.

    I love it, there's a ton of threads on it listed at the bottom of the page. It's really popular, my fave birth control ever.

    How come when I put 'Yasmin' into the damn search button thing NOTHING comes up except a bunch of crap that has nothing to do with the pill. But when I start a thread a bunch of stuff comes up....so frustrating....

    I'm taking Yaz, which is basically the exact same thing as Yasmin without having a full week of 'inactive' pills. I fucking LOVE Yaz. I was normally an emotional wreck the week before my period, and now I'm not. My acne cleared up a bunch, and I my period is either 1 day or not at all.

    Even my SO says he can tell a difference!

    This is without a doubt my wonderpill. I have tried every BC under the sun, and this seems to be the only one that agrees with me. No weight gain (in fact I think it suppresses my appetitie a little because I'm an emotional eater and I'm not so up and down), no mood swings, no spotting and I can nearly predict to the hour when my period will come.

    But different BC work for different people. In Oz you can get most meds under the government Pharm Benifits Scheme (PBS) which Yasmine is not on, but I'll happily pay full price for it.

    I'm on it now and loovvee it! I'm thinking about switching to Yaz just for the fewer periods. I'm really sensitive towards hormones too..like Ortho Evra made me psycho bitch, Ovral made me throw up, and Loestrin made me depressed, finally found the perfect fit!

    I'm pretty sure Yaz just has more active pills vs sugar pills. I think you get four more active pills and only 3 sugar pills at the end of the cycle??

    Yaz is slightly different than Yasmin. Yaz has an added ingredient that is supposed to help with PMDD. Yasmin does not have that ingredient. Also Yaz only has 4 days of sugar pills, the rest are active ingredients.

    How long does it take before Yasmin helps with acne? Ive been on just over 2 weeks and am really hoping it helps get rid of my adult acne eventually...

    I just started YAZ a month ago, so far I like it. It's made my boobs bigger with no water retention and no weight gain. It didn't make me break out so I guess it helped with my complexion.

    At first when i was driving I noticed I felt queasy and lost my appetite for a few days but that went away. So yeah, I think it can make you nauseous but goes away fast.

    I'm just having trouble remembering to take it at the same time everyday.

    All in all low side effects compared to other BC

    AL I didn't notice a reduction in acne for a month or two after starting my bc, it takes a while as far as I know.

    And yeah I got sick off Yaz for the first week or two, nausea about an hour or so after taking it.

    It killed my sex drive. Or was that the newness of the relationship wearing off? It really did make me not want sex to the point I'd get annoyed if my guy touched me. Everyone is different though.

    So now I have a good excuse.

    "Babe, not only did you knock me up and make me lose precious female organs, but now im on BC and if my sex drive it gone then deal with it...."

    Yea, its really making me sick - like all the time. And after I eat I feel sick, every meal.

    I put my pills in front of the coffeemaker so Im sure to take it in the morning!
