I'm 43 and have now been on the yasmine pill a good few years. In the past 3ish years, I've had:
~ No sex drive
~ Dry and sore down there. Sex hurts
~ More frequent urination at night (sometimes worse than others. Affects at night more than day)
~ High anxiety (although I'm an anxious person anyway)
~ Down, lethargy, lack of motivation
~ Struggle to keep weight down. My BMI is 28 - 29 and I struggle to at least keep it below 30
Can you get perimenopause on the pill?
Also, Can you switch from pill to HRT and not risk pregnancy?
I've an appointment pending with a gyno but checking here for other people's experiences first...
