Thanx for the info. My first period after pred. was heavy for 3 days and barely there for 4. That's a first in my life. Mine before and during pred. lasted only 3 days and was really normal. We'll see next month. I hope my teeth don't fall out LOL I guess in some cases it happens. My teeth r fine, just some minor gum irritation. My dentist told me to use salt water or dilute Listerene with water and use that and it will take care of the problem. take care

I started out on Estrostep, then Triphasil, then Orthotricyclin-lo, and now I am currently on Yasmin. I have noticed I have more mood swings with yasmin, more acne (i used to have a VERY clear face), and a sex drive that is barely there!!! Also,I have headaches, some mild and some severe, just about everyday!! Most of them come on suddenly, and last for quite some time! Tylenol helps, but doesn't take them away! Although I do have side effects, my periods have become MUCH shorter (from about 14 days before any birth control pills, to about 9 with the above mentioned pills, to like 4 days with Yasmin) and with very little cramping. With all of the pills i've been on, i've noticed some weight gain associated, but nothing severe! If anyone has any suggestions to a pill that has fewer side effects, please let me know! ~Thanks
