Do any of you take the Pill but still get PMT?

I'm on yasmin. I thought the pill stopped PMT symptoms because you don't have proper cycles on it but I'm sure I still get PMT - tearful, bloating etc.

Because I'm going on holiday I was thinking of running 2 packs together to avoid period but if I've never done it before and was wondering if running packs together increases PMS symptoms in which case I might just put up with the period.

Any experience?

I've just stopped taking the pill (femodene) but I certainly got PMT in the 24 hours or so before a period. Tetchiness, sore boobs, extra clumsiness. Not as bad as the PMT without the pill though.

I found that when I ran packs together I didn't have PMT when the period should have been due but a much heavier period and worse PMT when the 2nd pack came to an end.

I stopped taking the pill last month and had no PMT this month so was surpised when period arrived. I have run two packs together before usually when going on holiday and agree with MrsJohnDeere that PMT is worse and period is heavier.
