I sort of have a love/hate relationship w. this pill. I was on this pill after I had my 1st child. For those 18 mo. I felt great. I suffer from alopecia (female pattern hair loss) and this pill made my hair thicker and reduced the loss completely. I went off of it 3-4 mo. before easily conceiving my 2nd son. However, a month after I got off, I started to loose more hair than ever AND break out ridiculously for the first time ever in my life! The only reason I believe that everything turned around is because I got pg and we all know the good hair and skin that does for you. I am now done having kids and back on Yasmin because I was disparate to regrow my hair (which it helped again). It has been about 6 mo. and am starting to lose my hair again and have symptoms comparable to an ulcer. I'm just not sure anymore, but what i am sure of is doctors have no clue.

Funny you say you have symptoms of an ulcer. Cause I have been taking Yasmin and this is happening to me! I have been taking it for about 6 months. Got on it after my second child. I fully agree that doctors often have no clue. Its seems like a guess and check kind of thing. We're all just guinea pigs I suppose. I was told by one doc to try Zovia another told me Seasonique. I am scared to try anything new. But I need to be on a pill.
