Can anyone tell me about Yasmin?

[ElizaDoMore]

I haven't taken the pill for over a year. Went back to Micronor after having my 2nd baby in June 2010 but it made me erratic so came off it.

DH says mood swings around my period are hellish and would really like me to speak to my GP about trying something else.

I've read positive things about Yasmin but would be more encouraged to hear about it from reliable sources - Mumsnetters.

Thanks

I used Yasmin for about 10 years and never had any issues

Thanks! Are you able to just ask yr GP for whatever pill you want?

As far as I know they should be able to give you a prescription for any type unless you have any history which means a particular one is not suitable

I used it for ages. Was brilliant. My dr told me when he put me on it that he likes it because it most closely resembles real hormones. Hence fewer symptoms. Apparently models use it!

Posted too soon, so if he's right, it should be a good choice if you are suffering.

Oh, thank you! I think I'll make an appt.
