hi
i got a question about yasmin. i have been on this for about 6 months or so. and for the last couple of months when it comes time for my period im having very little bleeding.
i dont even need sanitary protection. also it is taking longer for it to come, it use to come about the 2 or 3rd day of taking the nonhormonal pills(4th wk) now it doesnt come until the 5 or 6th day. i have pms symptons because i have headaches for two weeks before. im worried something may be wrong with me because it is almost nonexistant now. hope someone can help!!

You say you're getting more migraines now than before? You used to just get them the week of your period? Between the migraines and your periods, I'd wonder if you need a different/less progestin. I took Loestrin 1.5/30 for about 4 years and toward the end, my periods got really light and took longer and longer to arrive. Following that, I started having some serious problems with estrogen deficiency (vaginal dryness and genital atrophy, really dry itchy skin).
I suppose Seasonale might be an option, but you might just ask for a prescription for Nordette to start out--it's the same formulation, if that's what you want, but you're only committed to a month at a time unless you want to tri-cycle it and take three packs back to back. You might also think about Mircette, it's got a little bit of estrogen for five of the seven inactive days, which is supposed to help with menstrual migraines. But definitely ask your doctor his feeling on what another good pill might be, some doctors have a clue, and then some don't, but you'll find out when you ask.
Good luck, I hope you can find a good solution!
