I currently use Yasmin, and have been on it for about a year. The worst thing about it is that my insurance only covers about $5.00 worth... so I pay $50.00 a month. It's been great for me.. but b.c of the cost, my new Gyno is having me try something new that is suppose to be similar. I'll start Levora-28 in about 2 weeks.
When I started Yasmin I had a migrain that seemed to last for about a week. But no problems with BC related headaches after that. I was nausious the first two weeks, but taking the pill with some food helped. And I had to use the bathroom a lot! (Yasmin helps with water retetion.. which minimizes bloating during your period, consequence is needing to use the bathroom often!)
I didn't experience any weight gain, or increase in acne. I improved my moods tremendously (depression severe mood swings-- the main reason I chose this pill, i heard it was the best for severe emotional pms). I have little to no cramping.
I stopped using the pill for about 3 months at one point. I can't say for sure, but my face broke out really bad. My best guess is that stopping the pill caused or contributed.
Over all thought, my experience with Yasmin was great. I hope that Levora is just as good to me.... *fingers crossed*
Good luck to you!
