I am currently on Lo/Ovral 28. It is a lower hormone bc but obviously you have a full week of placebo pills, however, I usually only get my period for about 5 days out of that (Wed-Sun mid). I asked my OBGYN about switching because I had been having a lot more extreme ups and downs, and felt like I was going crazy. She had switched me to Lo Estrin Fe 24, right about the same time I was also having a lot of extreme stomach problems and I freaked out and did not continue to use it after the first pac was completed because I was afraid my stomach problems were being caused by the new pill. However, in hind sight, it could have been all of the major life traumas occuring at that time and not the pill. Either way, I am back on the Lo/Ovral 28 and am having similar hormonal/mood fluxes but not as severe, but enough to increase depression.

I'm thinking it might be a good time to switch now that things are stabile again, and want to know if I should try Yaz or give Lo estrin Fe 24 another shot? what do you think I should take to help with the emotional flux? (I wouldn't mind if it helped with my skin and made my breats a little larger either, but I'd be happy with just reducing the mood swings)
