advice on Yasmin & pill in general
| Sun, 10-03-2004 - 2:30am |
I've been on ortho cyclene for over 6 years now and just switched to Yasmin. I've noticed my moodiness and weight fluctuations on ortho cyclene so that's what caused my switch. Now that I"m on Yasmin I've noticed a slight change in my body - a bit of a "belly" and I've noticed my appetite is greater. I haven't gained weight that bad - a pound or two, but I"m wondering if this has been a big side effect for a lot of you and if so, is it mostly temporary. I know that the pill is different from everyone, but I'm ready to call my doctor and I just don't know if I'm "jumping the gun". Is there any pill that people have had a lot of success in in the weight and mood department? Thanks for your help!

It's also possible that within a couple of months this will subside. You're supposed to give a new pill 2-4 months to allow your body to get used to the different hormones, so if you're only in the first month on Yasmin, you might want to give it a little more time and see if things don't improve in another month or two.
Hang in there, hopefully things will get better soon!
