Hi Peeps. BC has never agreed with me. It's exhausting trying to find one that works. I gave Ortho Tricyclen 35 a try for the past 6 mos and did not like it at all. Stayed nauseas and headachy the whole time. Doctor gave me Yasmin to try next period so I have to go through getting used to it all over again. I always get breasttenderness, headaches, and grumpies and killed my libido a little. First went on Ortho bf said I was a total **itch. Well here goes again. I heard Yasmin has potassium in it so you don't retail so much water. Anyone with experience in Yasmin?

Hi. Just thought I'd give you my opinion. It is exhausting tryin to find the right pill. I was on Yasmin for almost a year. The thing that got me was the severe bresat tenderness. it was just too painful and constant after a while, and I couldn't take it so I switched. I do know some poeple that are very happy with it though, and that's the problem. It's so hard to tell because people respond so differently. i wouldn't recommend it, but if you ask a friend of mine she would say it's great. It's all how you respond so the best way is to try it for a while and see how it goes. if you don'r like it, move on and try something else. good luck
