Hi.. I have been researching birth control pills for a while now,...

Girls everywhere . I have one question and please you can reply in private or on here, whatever you like. Did any of the doctors that prescribed Yasmin to you ever give you a hormonal test? I have been going through really bad emotional mood swings for a white but did not have insurance so never really go myself checked out. So last month I went back to my home country and visited a gyno(where medicine is not so overpriced) who has been recommended to me by numerous people and he did a bunch of hormone tests on me concluded (by blood work) that I have a hormonal inbalance. Before the tests were done he obviously asked me a bunch of questions and I warned him that last time i had gone on a losely prescribed birth control(which is was suppose to be very low hormone dosage) I went practically nuts. After seeing my results and finding my inbalance he has prescribed Yasmin to me because apparently I have too much estrogen and other things I couldnt really think is meant to block some of these hormones from going to your brain. So My point after all this rambling is that ALL of our bodies are different and all birth controls are different and have different hormones which could drive a normal person insane with or without taking the pills SO my suggestion if you are having trouble with Yasmin is to get your hormone levels checked, Yasmin may be the devil to you but its probably because you dot need certain components that are in it or lack some. Get real tests done!

THANK YOU! I appreciate your posting because I completely agree...everyone who posts here is usually looking for the negative ( and as women, we are going to experience hard emotional times during the month...lets not forget that some symtoms are normal). Also, I have been on yasmin before and it was my favorite. I did experience some ups and downs emotionally, but it could have just been life. It cleared up my face completely and since I have been off of it my face went completely crazy...its been bad. I didn't gain weight on yasmin, my chest grew, I did experience a lot of headaches but it isn't abnormal for me to have head aches. I
Currently, I went on yaz and I absolutely love it! I feel even better on yaz but I might have to go back to yasmin for the stronger estorgen because I'm still breaking out. It has helped but not as much as yasmin did.
So good luck everyone! Find the pill that works for you and remember to be patient...hope for the best!
