The pill, is historically the only contraception that has worked for me but I have tried loads of different ones and they all seem to make me really spotty.
I'm now on Yasmin and have been taking it for nearly 2 months but it is making me spotty like the others did. On the upside though I don't get any water retention or depressive feelings like I have on others.
As my GP is not very flexible about what he is prepared to prescribe I went to the FPC to get advice there and the doctor was very nice and said they would help me find a pill that suited me even if I had to try them all.
She said, though that Dianette is only really recommended for people who already have severe acne because there are particular concerns re: the increased risk of blood clots and possible link with liver cancer. My skin is absolutely fine unless I am on the pill, it seems. This made sense to me - I don't think the risk benefit would be worth it in my case and she suggested I try Cileste next, given that Yasmin does not seem great.
My question is, should I stick with the Yasmin for a couple more months to see if my skin settles down or should I try the Cileste now?
