The doctor has taken me off Microgynin and changed me to Yasmin.

If you take it, what do you think of it?

What side affects have you had?

Thank you :)

Yes, I'm on it. Been on it for about 2 years now. I really like it.

I had slightly sore boobs for the first couple of months & I get a bit more headachey around my period than I would do normally.
However, almost no PMT, really light periods, good skin, no weight gain - so very happy with it.

I was hoping it would work wonders for my skin which tends to be a bit crappy at times.

Microgynon has just given me 3 weeks of break through bleeding which im hoping wont happen with Yasmin!

I was put on it as I was overweight and it was marketed as a pill that wouldn't make you gain weight.

However I conceived DS while taking it and hadn't missed any, no illness/diarrhoea, no other medication and was taking em same time every day.

Just thought I'd warn ya!

I was really moody for 3mths til my body got used to it -then it was grand btw....
