Yasmin--why preferably taken at bedtime?
| Fri, 11-05-2004 - 12:07pm |
I'm switching to Yasmin at my doctor's recommendations this week after six months of ortho tricyclen lo.
I was reading the insert, which says "It is recommended that Yasmin be taken at the same time each day, preferably after the evening meal or at bedtime."
I was wondering if anyone knows why it recommends that time?
I've been taking my otc-lo at 2:00 pm, which has worked well for me--is there any reason for me to switch to after the evening meal/bedtime for Yasmin?

I'm on Yasmin and have been for some time now (my son is now 3 yrs and 3 months old) I have to take mine at nite b/c all the one's that I was on in the past made me sick everytime I took them in the morning.
Have you considered trying NuvaRing? The site is: http://www.nuvaring.com/Consumer/index.asp NuvaRing is a flexible ring worn in the vagina for three weeks and removed for one for your period. It continuously releases a small amount of hormones and has the lowest dose of estrogen of any method available in the U.S. It can be worn continuously for four weeks without decreasing your protection which is very nice if you need to reschedule your period. A lot of members seem to like it. I hope you find an effective method that works well for you. Let us know what you decide, ok?
Good luck,
