I am thinking of going on birth control pills-- not as a contraceptive but more like hormone therapy. It's hard to tell but I think I may have something like PMDD. I am also trying to lose weight. Does anyone know of pill out there that is better for your weight/skin/facial hair? AND/OR on it right now? I was under the impression that most pills these days dont cause weight gain like they used to. I am going to talk to someone at the clinic as well but I thought I would try to ask "you" as well!

Perhaps Yaz...or Yasmin......
Talk to your doc!

Yaz is supposed to help with PMS-like symptoms. I am on Yasmin and love it, but of course every pill works differently for each person, so you really have to try it yourself to see if it works. Yasmin has not made me gain weight at all and I've been successful in losing weight in the past few months (and in the past). It actually helps with bloating during my periods. I never really get bad PMS anyway, but it's supposed to help with this too. My skin also improved on Yasmin. It used to be very, very oily and now it's more normal.
